Description

This Blueberry Lemon Curd Tart is a delightful dessert combining a buttery tart shell filled with tangy, smooth lemon curd and topped with fresh blueberries and vibrant lemon zest. Perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, it makes for an elegant, refreshing treat ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Tart Base

  • 1 pre-made tart shell

Lemon Curd Filling

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed

Topping

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the tart.
  2. Prepare Lemon Curd Mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together fresh lemon juice, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  3. Cook Lemon Curd: Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk constantly for 5–7 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken without boiling. This step ensures a smooth, creamy curd.
  4. Add Butter: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the cubed butter until it melts completely and blends smoothly into the curd.
  5. Fill Tart Shell: Pour the prepared lemon curd into the pre-made tart shell and smooth the surface evenly.
  6. Bake Tart: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the lemon curd is just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  7. Cool and Chill: Let the tart cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to set fully and develop flavors.
  8. Add Toppings: Once chilled, top the tart with fresh blueberries and sprinkle with lemon zest for a bright, fresh finish.
  9. Serve: Serve the tart cold and enjoy its creamy, tangy goodness paired with juicy blueberries.

Notes

  • Do not allow the lemon curd to boil as it may curdle or become grainy.
  • Using fresh lemon juice and zest provides the best flavor intensity for the tart.
  • Make sure the tart shell is pre-made and fully baked before filling, or bake it separately if needed.
  • Refrigeration is important to properly set the curd and enhance the tart’s texture.
  • This tart is best served within 2 days for optimum freshness.
