Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, confectioners' sugar, and kosher salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk an egg yolk with a tablespoon of cold water, then add it to the flour mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the dough into the pan, pressing it into the corners. Use parchment paper and pie weights for blind baking, then bake for 10-12 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, honey, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened and reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and stir in cold unsalted butter and heavy cream until fully incorporated. Pour into the pre-baked tart crust.
- Bake the filled tart for an additional 10-12 minutes until the lemon curd is slightly jiggly in the center but firm around the edges. Remove and cool at room temperature.
- Puree fresh or frozen blueberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a saucepan to remove seeds. Mix in honey and cornstarch, and simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the blueberry mixture has thickened, pour it over the cooled lemon curd layer. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Slice the Blueberry-Lemon Curd Tart and serve on plates. Garnish with fresh mint or a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired.
