Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup lemon zest + ½ cup juice (from about 4 lemons)
- 6 large eggs (1 whole + 5 yolks)
- ⅓ cup honey (for lemon curd)
- 10 ounces blueberries
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by mixing the egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla in one bowl. Blend the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a food processor before adding chilled butter. Combine until crumbly, then mix in the egg yolk mixture. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Roll out the dough to fit a tart pan and bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Lower oven temperature to 350°F and prepare the lemon curd by whisking together lemon juice, zest, eggs, honey, and salt over medium-low heat until thickened. Pour into the cooled crust.
- Bake the lemon curd filling for an additional 10–12 minutes until shiny.
- For the blueberry layer, process blueberries until smooth, strain for liquid, and mix with honey and cornstarch; simmer until thickened. Pour over cooled lemon filling and refrigerate until set.
