A bright and tangy lemon blueberry tart with a flaky golden crust, perfect for summer gatherings or a refreshing dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 to 4 tbsp (45–60ml) ice water
  • ¾ cup (180ml) fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 large lemons)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  2. Add ice water, 3 tbsp at a time, mixing gently until dough just starts to come together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out chilled dough to about 12 inches diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan, press into edges, trim excess, and prick bottom with a fork.
  4. Line crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake blind for 15 minutes, remove weights and parchment, then bake another 10 minutes until golden. Cool slightly.
  5. Make lemon filling: Whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, eggs, heavy cream, and cornstarch until smooth. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve.
  6. Pour filling into warm crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 25–30 minutes until filling is set but slightly jiggly in center.
  7. Cool on wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
  8. Before serving, scatter fresh blueberries on top and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky crust. Blind bake crust to prevent sogginess. Chill filling to set properly. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Use fresh blueberries for best texture. Frozen blueberries can be used but may release more juice.
