How to Make Stunning Lemon Blueberry Tart
Start by making the tart crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a tart pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the melted butter. Pour the lemon filling into the cooled tart crust.
Bake the tart for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Once chilled, top the tart with fresh blueberries and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and enjoy your stunning dessert!
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before refrigerating for the best texture.
Substitutions and Variations:
- Use a store-bought tart crust for a quicker option.
- Substitute raspberries or strawberries for blueberries for a different flavor.
Make a Healthier Version:
- Use a whole wheat flour for the crust for added fiber.
- Reduce the sugar in the filling to suit your taste preferences.
