Ingredients
  

  • Pre-baked tart crust homemade or store-bought
  • Fresh blueberries 1 cup
  • For the Lemon Curd:
  • Eggs 3 large
  • Granulated sugar 3/4 cup
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 cup
  • Lemon zest zest of 2 lemons
  • Unsalted butter 1/2 cup, cubed

Instructions
 

  • Before you jump into the magic, make sure your tart crust is pre-baked and ready to go. You can use a store-bought crust or whip up a homemade one if you'd like to go the extra mile.
  • This is where the magic of sweet and tangy happens. Whisk together eggs and sugar until well combined, then stir in lemon juice and zest. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and heat gently, stirring constantly. Once it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove from heat and whisk in the butter until smooth and shiny. 🥄✨
  • Pour your freshly made lemon curd into the tart crust, spreading it evenly. Arrange the blueberries on top in a single layer or an artistic pattern. Don’t stress if it’s not perfect—even a casual blueberry scatter looks beautiful. Add smiles and a sprinkle of pride here. 😊
  • Pop the tart into the fridge for at least an hour to set. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle a tiny bit of honey for added pizzazz. Want to take it next-level? Garnish with mint leaves!

Notes

  1. Use fresh lemons for the juice and zest. They make all the difference in flavor. 🍋
  2. Stir the lemon curd constantly while cooking to avoid curdling. Low and slow wins the race!
  3. Chill the tart before serving; it helps the curd firm up perfectly.
  4. Experiment with sweetness levels by adjusting the amount of sugar in the curd.
