Baker’s Tip
This dessert is absolutely incredible if served slightly warm, within 30 or 40 minutes of removing from the oven. Tart keeps well in the refrigerator, and though fine when served cool, you may wish to warm slightly in microwave prior to serving.
Crust Directions
- Cream together butter, almond paste and cream cheese.
- Add baking powder and honey; mix.
- Add flours and mix until blended.
- Press pastry crust into bottom of 9x1⅛" greased tart pan and form crust up sides of pan (wax paper or parchment works nicely to help form crust).
- Bake at 450° for 7-9 minutes or until crust is slightly browned. While crust is baking, make filling.
Filling Directions
- Mix slightly beaten eggs and sugar together.
- Add half & half, lemon juice and cornstarch; mix.
- Place frozen blueberries in cooked pastry shell (allow pastry shell to cool a few minutes before adding blueberries).
- Pour filling over blueberries — berries will rise to surface during baking.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325° and bake for 45 minutes or until filling is set.
