Ingredients
  

Crust Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Lemon Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed) (about 4–6 lemons)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Blueberry Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation of Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, softened butter, and salt. Mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press the dough into a 9–10-inch tart pan evenly, pressing up the sides for an even rim.
  • Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes until lightly golden.

Preparation of Lemon Filling

  • While the crust bakes, whisk together the heavy cream, lemon juice, granulated sugar, eggs, and lemon zest in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • Pour the lemon filling into the warm baked crust and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes until the filling is set but still has a slight wobble.
  • Let the tart cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Preparation of Blueberry Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened, about 8–10 minutes.
  • Optional: For a smooth sauce, blend briefly with an immersion blender.

Serving

  • Serve the chilled tart sliced, drizzled with blueberry sauce.

Notes

Chill the tart before slicing for cleaner cuts. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
