Description

In this blueberry tart recipe, a fresh blueberry filling with a hint of lemon is poured over a sweet shortbread cookie crust, creating a simple dessert.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 cups blueberries
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Combine flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until a dough forms; press into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly.
4 Meanwhile, toss blueberries and cornstarch together in a large bowl until evenly coated; transfer to a large saucepan over low heat. Stir in white sugar and lemon extract; simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.
5 Pour hot blueberry filling over cooled crust. Cool before slicing.
