Indulge in the sweet and tangy flavors of our homemade blueberry tart. This classic dessert features a buttery crust filled with a luscious blueberry compote and topped with fresh blueberries. Perfect for summer gatherings or any time you crave a delicious treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

  1. In a food processor, combine flour, cold cubed butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a tart pan, pressing it into the edges.
  6. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, water, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve the blueberry tart with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  11. Enjoy!
