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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries into the custard mixture. Pour the custard into the prepared pie crust.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
