Blueberry Tarte Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and spray 10-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine flour, salt and sugar.
• Cut in the butter with pastry blender or fork.
• Mix in the vinegar.
• Pat crust onto bottom of springform pan and 1 inch up side.
• For filling combine sugar, flour and cinnamon.
• Add 2 1/2 cups blueberries.
• Place evenly on top of crust.
• Bake for 1 hour.
• Remove from oven and put remaining 2 cups blueberries on top, lightly pressing in blueberries.
• Cool completely.
• Remove rim and serve from springform bottom.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, butter, and powdered sugar together until a dough forms. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, toss blueberries with cornstarch and place in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and lemon extract. Simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing the berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour blueberry filling over the cooled crust. Let cool before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roll out the puff pastry to a uniform thickness. Cut out 4 rounds about 7 inches across. Fit the puff pastry into the tart shells. Trim the excess pastry, line the tart shells with aluminum foil, and weight the pastry with pie weights or rice. Bake the shells until golden brown at the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and bake until the bottom of the shells are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Set the tarts aside to cool.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of brandy. Spoon the blueberries into the tart shells.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the cream and the remaining brandy. Spoon the custard over the blueberries. (Keep in mind that the custard will expand slightly as it cooks so fill the shells to just below the crust edge.)
• Bake the tarts until the custard is set and lightly browned, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Serve the tarts with whipped cream, creme anglaise or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 9-inch springform pan
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
• Combine 1 cup of the flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and the salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some large lumps. Add the egg yolks and pulse until blended.
• Place the dough in the springform pan, and press it evenly against the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides. Toss 2 1/2 cups of the berries, the lemon zest, juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, remaining 1 tablespoon flour and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Pour the berry mixture into the shell and bake until vigorously bubbling, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and immediately top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups blueberries.
• Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar by tapping it through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt, and butter; process until large moist crumbs form (dough should hold together when squeezed).
• Transfer dough to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom; with floured fingers, press evenly into bottom and up sides. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes; prick bottom of dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes; cool completely.
• Meanwhile, reserve 1 cup of the prettiest berries for topping. In a medium saucepan, bring 1/4 cup water and 1 1/2 cups berries to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries begin to break down, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water; stir into berries in pan. Add lemon zest and juice, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, stirring, just until mixture begins to thicken, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 3 1/2 cups fresh berries. Immediately pour hot berry mixture into cooled tart shell, and smooth with a spatula.
• Immediately pour hot berry mixture into cooled tart shell, and smooth with a spatula. Scatter reserved berries on top, pressing down lightly to help them adhere. Refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes and up to overnight.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 1 min. Stir in the almonds, egg and almond extract.
• Stir in half the blueberries and spoon into the pastry case. Smooth the top using the back of a metal spoon, then scatter over the remaining blueberries, pressing them in lightly. Bake for 45-50 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden, and the filling is golden and feels firm to the touch.
• Cool the tart for 10 mins in the tin, then lift onto a serving plate. Dust with a little icing sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Crush half the blueberries. Sift together sugar and cornstarch. Add whole and crushed blueberries; toss until berries are well coated. Set aside., On a lightly floured surface, unroll crusts. Cut out six 4-1/2-in. circles; press circles onto bottoms and up sides of greased muffin cups. Evenly spoon in blueberry mixture. Cut out six 2-in. circles from remaining crust; place over filling. Brush with yolk., Bake until crust is golden and filling bubbles, 13-17 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; run a knife around sides of muffin cups and remove tarts to a serving plate.

Steps:

• Mix graham crackers, butter, and white sugar together in a bowl; press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Chill crust until firm, about 1 hour.
• Beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in whipped topping.
• Spread cream cheese mixture evenly onto crust; top with blueberry pie filling. Chill until firm, 4 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. For the base, oil a 20cm tart tin and line the base with baking parchment. Pulse the oats in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add the rest of the ingredients along with a pinch of salt and pulse to combine. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the tin. Bake for 8-10 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the berry layer. Put the blueberries, citrus zest and juice, maple syrup and 150ml water in a small saucepan and simmer for 15 mins over a medium heat until the berries are soft. Blitz to a purée using a hand blender or food processor, then pass through a sieve and return to the pan (you should have 300ml liquid). Dissolve the agar in 100ml warm water, add to the pan and simmer for 2 mins. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then spread over the pastry base. Chill for 1 hr until set.
• For the filling, put the blueberries, syrup and lemon zest in a small pan and cook for 5 mins over a medium heat until soft. Blitz using a hand blender or food processor, then pass through a sieve. Return to the pan along with the milk, vanilla, agar (dissolved in 4 tbsp warm water), cornflour and a pinch of salt,and whisk to combine. Cook over a medium heat for 2 mins, then cool, stirring occasionally. Pour over the cooled tart. Chill for 5 hrs or overnight. Decorate with more berries, lime zest and rose petals, if you like. Will keep chilled for two days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grind the granola in a blender or a food processor to make crumbs. Mix crumbs with butter and press into the bottom and sides of a nine-inch straight-sided tart pan or springform. The sides should come about one-and-a-fourth-inches high. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
• Beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the sugar, beat eggs one at a time, the cream and vanilla. Pour this mixture into the prepared crumb-lined pan and bake for 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate at least two hours.
