Steps:
- To make the pastry, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the dough resembles cornmeal. Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse again until the dough pulls together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Roll the dough up onto the pin and lay it inside a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the edges of the pan and fold the excess dough inside to reinforce the rim. Cover the tart pan with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to rest.
- To bake the shell, heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the tart pan on a baking sheet and prick the bottom of the dough with a fork. Cover the shell with a piece of parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights. Lightly beat the egg white with 1 teaspoon water and brush it onto the bottom and sides of the tart shell; set aside to cool.
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, cream, zest, and salt. Add the blueberries to the cooled tart shell and pour the filling over the blueberries. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The curd should jiggle slightly when done. Cool to room temperature, remove from the tart ring, and serve.

Steps:
- Make the candied lemon zest: Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from lemons in vertical strips. Use a knife to remove any white pith; cut zest into thin strips as thinly as possible. Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add zest; blanch for 1 minute, drain, and rinse under cold water. In another medium saucepan, combine sugar and 2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Cook until sugar dissolves completely, about 2 minutes. Add lemon zest. Simmer until translucent, about 30 minutes. Drain zest and let cool on a wire rack. Place superfine sugar in a small bowl, add zest, and toss to coat. Using a fork, shake to remove any excess sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to several weeks.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out pate sucree to a 13-inch round and fit dough into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Trim excess dough around the perimeter with a paring knife. Freeze until firm, about 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place pan on a baking sheet. Carefully line pastry with parchment paper, pressing it into the corners and edges, and weight with beans, rice, or pie weights. Bake about 20 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and continue baking until crust is light golden-brown, about 15 minutes more. Transfer to a cooling rack. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Spread lemon curd in tart shell and return to oven until curd is bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature. Chill until firm, about 6 hours.
- Whisk together creme fraiche and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Dollop mixture onto cooled tart.
- Place blueberries in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, warm apricot jam over medium-low heat, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a fine sieve, strain jam directly over blueberries. Toss blueberries until coated with jam. Pile blueberries on top of tart. Garnish with 1 tablespoon candied lemon zest (reserve remaining for another use) and serve.

Steps:
- Whisk the juice, sugar eggs and yolks together in a saucepan, being careful not to aerate it too much. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly but gently with the whisk. Cook until it thickens and the whisk leaves light lines; it will still be quite liquid. Do not let it boil. Strain it into a bowl and press plastic wrap onto the hot surface.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Invert a 10-inch cake pan over the dough (towards the edge of the tray so you waste a minimum amount of dough) and press. Lift off and use a pizza cutter to cut around the imprint of the circle. Lift the circle of dough out and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Dock it. Center the round metal bottom of 9-inch tart mold over the dough and press. Cut around at 1-inch intervals to form a decorative "fringe". Weigh the metal bottom down with heavy objects. (I place an 8-inch cake pan on top and fill it with stacked tartlet molds - about 3 1/2 pounds worth.)
- Bake about 18 minutes, until the edges are golden, then remove the weights and metal tart bottom. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the center is golden. Remove from oven and spread the lemon curd evenly in the center. Put back in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to set the filling. Remove from oven and scatter the berries around the outside edge of the lemon filling. Serve within an hour. Cut with a pizza wheel.
BLUEBERRY-LEMON TART
Steps:
- To make the pastry, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Put in the chunks of butter, a little at a time, and pulse just until the dough resembles cornmeal. Add the egg yolk and the ice water; pulse again for a second just to pull the dough together. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic and let it rest and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin (this may take a little practice) and lay it inside a 10 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the scalloped edges of the pan and fold the excess dough inside to reinforce the rim.
- Put the tart pan on a cookie sheet and prick the bottom of the dough with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes. Lightly beat the egg white and brush the bottom and sides of the dough with it to seal any tiny holes. Bake for another 10 minutes.
- To make the lemon curd filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, heavy cream, lemon juice, and zest. Pour the mixture into the tart shell. Spread the blueberries on top of the filling; they will float around and find their own space. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The curd will jiggle slightly when done. Carefully lift the tart out of the ring, then slide it off the base onto a plate. Cool to room temperature and slice.

The crust is fabulous! I love the nuts, buttery flavor, and texture. The cream cheese layer is light and creamy and, well, my homemade blueberry topping is fan-stinkin-tabulous! *If you decide on a refreshing lemony taste try fresh squeezed lemon juice instead of the extract and toss in some zest.

Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen blueberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
- To prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the tart, toss them with a little flour before adding them to the filling.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set.
- Serve the tart with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
