    1. Start by adding your heavy cream and sugar in a pan on the stove. Cook on medium heat until sugar is dissolved. 
    2. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat and add in the lemon zest and juice. Mix well, and then allow to cool 30 minutes.

    Helpful Tips For Lemon Tarts

    Bake Pie Crusts 

    Make sure to follow the package and bake the pie crusts as directed. The creamy filling is not baked so you want to pre-bake and allow your crusts to cool. 

    Dissolve Sugar Fully 

    Make sure as you are heating up the cream and sugar you allow the sugar granules to fully melt. Don't rush the process, or you can scald or burn your filling. 

    Variations to Lemon Blueberry Tarts

    Fruit 

    You can change up the blueberries if you want. Fresh strawberries, blackberries, or even raspberries would be a delicious pairing. 

    Leave Out Lemon

    You can leave out the citrus and add in a splash of vanilla extract. This will make it more of a plain filling with a hint of vanilla. Feel free to even try out almond extract if you want. 

    Whipped Cream

    Consider adding a whipped cream topping on top of each of the tarts. Then you can add the fruit on one of the sides. 

    Lemon Blueberry Tarts FAQs

    mini lemon tarts

    How long does lemon tart last in the fridge?

    These lemon tarts will last 2-3 days in the fridge. You will find they begin to leak out juice as it breaks down and can sog up the pie crust. So aim to eat within the first few days of making. The best is the next day. 

    Do lemon tarts freeze well?

    Lemon tarts do freeze well, they are great to save for later. If you do this though leave off the blueberries on top, as they will soften and release juice once they thaw. 

    How do you defrost lemon tart?

    You will want to defrost the tarts in the fridge in a sealed container. I like to allow them to thaw for a few hours to overnight. That way they thaw slowly. The filling will break down if you go to microwave them.

    Notes

    • If you prefer the blueberries inside your lemon tart (rather than as a topping), simply fold the blueberries into the lemon filling before allowing it to cool. I found that they do sink a bit to the bottom of the tarts, so preferred them over the top.
