Ingredients
  

For the tart crust
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
For the lemon curd
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
For the topping
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional: A sprinkle of powdered sugar for garnish

Method
 

Preparation of Tart Crust
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
  2. Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gently mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
  4. Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork.
  5. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Baking the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes or until it’s lightly golden.
Preparing Lemon Curd
  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth.
  2. Mix in the lemon juice and zest.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and well combined.
Assembling the Tart
  1. Pour the lemon curd into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the top.
  2. Allow the tart to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  3. Before serving, top with fresh blueberries.
