Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour provides structure
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar adds sweetness and tenderness
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter creates a flaky crust
  • 2-3 tablespoons ice water binds the dough

For the filling

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar sweetens the filling
  • 3 large eggs provides richness and structure
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice adds tanginess
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest enhances lemon flavor
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream adds richness and creaminess
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries provides sweetness and texture
  • powdered sugar for dusting optional garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation of Tart Crust

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.
  • Gradually cut in the cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add ice water a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just holds together.
  • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator.

Preparation of Filling

  • Preheat your oven while the dough chills.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to about an 11-inch circle.
  • Transfer the rolled dough into the tart pan and trim any overhanging dough.
  • Chill the prepared crust in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  • In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Add the heavy cream to the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  • Pour the blueberry filling into the chilled tart crust.

Baking

  • Carefully place the tart in the preheated oven and bake until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
  • Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
  • Dust the tart with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter for the crust to ensure a flaky texture. Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing for neat pieces.
