Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice (or water)
- 1 cup (140g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 (14 ounce) can full-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 6 tablespoons (90ml) lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (1 lemon)
- 1 large egg yolk
Instructions
- To make the blueberry sauce: Mix the cornstarch and lemon juice in a small bowl. In a saucepan, heat blueberries and sugar, stirring for 3 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture and cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- To make the crust: Combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir in the flour until the dough is thick. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan and bake for 15 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Use a fork to poke holes in the crust.
- To make the filling: Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolk. Pour into the baked crust.
- Swirl in blueberry sauce by dropping spoonfuls over the lemon filling. Gently swirl using a toothpick or knife. Bake for 17-19 minutes until the center is set. Let cool at room temperature.
- Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day. Remove from the tart pan and serve with optional garnishes like whipped cream, blueberries, and leftover blueberry sauce.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Make this tart ahead of time for best flavor—chill for a day before serving.
- If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them before making the sauce.
- You can use a graham cracker crust or puff pastry if preferred.
