Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (chilled)
  • ¼ cup lemon zest + ½ cup lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
  • 1 large egg + 5 large yolks
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 10 ounces blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tart crust by combining flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Mix in chilled butter until crumbly, then add egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to form dough. Press into a tart pan and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the chilled crust for about 20 minutes until golden. Let it cool completely.
  3. For the lemon curd filling, whisk lemon juice, zest, honey, eggs, and yolks in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened (approximately 10 minutes). Strain and stir in cold butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the lemon curd into the cooled tart shell and refrigerate for at least two hours to set.
  5. To prepare the blueberry filling, cook blueberries with honey and cornstarch over medium heat until juices are released and mixture thickens slightly.
  6. Once cooled, pour blueberry filling over chilled lemon curd evenly.
  7. Slice and serve chilled.
