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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Cut in chilled butter until crumbly. Stir in egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla until combined.
  2. Press the dough into a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool.
  3. For the lemon curd filling, whisk together lemon zest, juice, honey, eggs, and yolks in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Pour into cooled crust and refrigerate.
  4. For the blueberry layer, combine blueberries, honey, cornstarch, and salt in another saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened (approximately 5 minutes). Pour over set lemon curd layer.
  5. Chill for at least two hours before serving.
