Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for lemon layer)
  • 10 oz fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (for blueberry layer)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for blueberry layer)
  • 1 tbsp honey (for blueberry layer)
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream (for blueberry layer)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form. Add vanilla and cream, mixing until dough comes together. Press into a tart pan and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake crust for 18–20 minutes or until golden. Cool completely.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, honey, butter, and cornstarch. Stir constantly until thickened. Pour over cooled crust and refrigerate until set (about 30 minutes).
  4. In a saucepan, cook blueberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and honey over medium heat, stirring until thick and jam-like. Blend if desired for a smooth layer. Stir in heavy cream.
  5. Spread blueberry layer over the lemon layer and chill again until fully set.
  6. Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with lemon zest or fresh berries if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure crust is completely cooled before adding lemon layer.
  • Blend blueberry layer for a smoother finish if preferred.
  • Use fresh, ripe blueberries for best flavor and texture.
  • Can be made a day in advance and stored chilled.
