Ingredients
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed berries (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for sauce)
How to Make Blueberry Custard Tart
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it firmly into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess crust. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and 3/4 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries into the custard mixture. Pour the custard into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is slightly golden. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
- While the tart cools, prepare the berry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the tart is cooled, slice and serve topped with the berry sauce and additional fresh blueberries if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your pie crust is fully cooled before adding the custard to maintain its texture.
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor.
- When making the berry sauce, adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the berries.
- Allow the tart to chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours for a firmer texture.
Easy Variations
- Swap blueberries for other fruits, like raspberries or strawberries, for a different flavor profile.
- Add a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon to the custard for an extra layer of warmth.
- Incorporate a layer of lemon curd under the custard for a zesty twist.
What to Serve With It
- A dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
- A cup of freshly brewed tea or coffee to complement the flavors.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days. This tart is best enjoyed cold, but you can reheat slices in the microwave for a few seconds if you prefer it warm.
