  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: Serves 8

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
  • ¼ cup lemon zest + ½ cup lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)
  • 1 large egg + 5 large yolks
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 10 ounces blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. For the crust, mix flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a bowl. Incorporate chilled butter until crumbly, then stir in egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla until dough forms. Press into a tart pan and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for about 20 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  3. Prepare the lemon curd by whisking lemon zest, juice, honey, eggs, and yolks in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened (about 10 minutes). Stir in chilled butter until melted.
  4. Pour the lemon curd into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least two hours to set.
  5. For the blueberry topping, combine blueberries with honey and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Let cool slightly before pouring over the set lemon curd.
  6. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
