Ingredients

Scale

For the Tart Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 9 tbsp cold butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Ganache:

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries (about 2530 berries)
  • 6 tbsp heavy cream
  • 12 tbsp white chocolate chips

Equipment:

  • 4-inch tart tins
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Mesh sieve
  • Pastry cutter (or 2 forks)
  • Silicone spatula
  • Rolling pin
  • Pie weights (or dry rice/beans)
  • Small pot
  • Whisk

Instructions

Tart Crust:

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
    • Sift the flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Incorporate Butter:
    • Add the cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Mix with a silicone spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep it tender.
  4. Chill the Dough:
    • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Roll and Shape:
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut circles slightly larger than the tart tins and press the dough into the tins. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
  6. Blind Bake the Crusts:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the tart shells with parchment paper and fill with pie weights (or dry rice/beans). Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Let cool completely.

Blueberry Ganache:

  1. Prepare the Blueberries:
    • In a small pot over medium heat, combine the blueberries and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook until the berries release their juice, about 5 minutes.
  2. Strain the Mixture:
    • Pass the cooked blueberries through a mesh sieve to remove the skins and seeds, collecting the juice in a bowl.
  3. Make the Ganache:
    • Heat the heavy cream in a small pot until just simmering. Remove from heat and pour over the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
  4. Incorporate Blueberry Juice:
    • Stir the strained blueberry juice into the ganache until fully combined, creating a smooth, purple filling.

Assemble the Tarts:

  1. Spoon the blueberry ganache into the cooled tart shells, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  2. Chill the tarts in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the ganache is set.

Notes

Garnish the tarts with fresh blueberries, edible flowers, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant and striking presentation.
