Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by whisking together the egg yolk, heavy cream, and a splash of vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
- In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, confectioners’ sugar, and kosher salt, then pulse in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the egg mixture, blending until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Roll out the chilled tart dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Fit the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it into the edges, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), then bake the crust for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and honey. Cook until thickened and reaches 165°F, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cold unsalted butter until fully melted and combined. Strain the lemon curd through a fine mesh sieve.
- Pour the curd into the cooled tart shell.
- Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the curd is slightly jiggly in the center but has set around the edges. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Puree the blueberries until smooth, then strain to remove seeds. Mix the puree with honey and cornstarch and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 4 minutes.
- Carefully pour the blueberry mixture over the cooled lemon curd, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours or until the blueberry layer is fully set.

Notes
Best enjoyed chilled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze without the blueberry layer for up to 2 months.
