Ingredients

• 1 pre-made 9-inch tart crust
• 2 cups fresh blueberries, plus extra for garnish
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (for the tart crust)

How to Make Blueberry Custard Tart

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the tart crust by following the package instructions. If using a frozen crust, bake it according to the package directions until golden brown. Brush the crust with melted butter and let it cool.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
4. Add the heavy cream, whole milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, whisking until smooth.
5. Gently fold in the flour until no lumps remain.
6. Place the fresh blueberries evenly in the cooled tart crust.
7. Pour the custard mixture over the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
8. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and a light golden color.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
10. Before serving, garnish with additional fresh blueberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother custard.
• Don’t overmix the custard once you add the flour; this helps keep it light and creamy.
• Allow the tart to cool completely before refrigerating to set properly.

Easy Variations

• Substitute blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of almond extract for a nutty twist.
• Top with whipped cream or serve with vanilla ice cream for added richness.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
• Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
