• Meanwhile, put half the blueberries into a medium saucepan. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add to the berries along with the lemon juice and bring to a simmer; cook for a few minutes, until the berries burst and soften and the juices thicken. Once it comes to a boil, make sure it cooks for a full minute to maximize thickening potential and make sure it's not starchy.)
• Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining blueberries. Let sit for a minute to cool slightly, then spoon into the tart shells, piling them high.

CINNAMON BLUEBERRY TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Mix together the cinnamon and caster sugar.
• Scatter the cinnamon sugar over the work surface, then roll out the pastry on top of the sugar, to about the thickness of 2 x £1 coins. Using a large dinner plate, cut out a neat round (approx 23cm is fine) and lift onto the lined baking sheet. Prick the pastry all over with a fork and crimp round the edge with finger and thumb. Chill for 15 mins.
• Bake the pastry in the oven for 10-12 mins, or until dry and biscuity. Allow to cool completely before carefully transferring to a serving plate.
• Beat the soft cheese with the orange juice and zest, adding the icing sugar to taste. Spread this over the pastry base leaving a 2.5cm border around the edge. Top the orange cream with the blueberries and lightly dust with icing sugar just before serving.

CLASSIC BLUEBERRY TART

Steps:

• Add the flour, salt, and sugar to the food processor. Pulse for 30 seconds. Then add the chilled cubed butter. Pulse for 30 seconds at a time until you have a breadcrumb consistency.Pro tip - pulse in shot burst so the butter is cut into small pieces rather than creamed into the flour.
• Combine egg yolk and ice water in a small bowl, add to the food processor feed tube while pulsing at the same time. Pulse for just 30 seconds. Pro tip - the mixture will still be crumbly but when squished with your fingers it should form a dough.
• Pour the crumbly mixture on a floured work surface and gather it all into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disc and chill for 30 minutes.Pro tip - we need to chill just until it is firm enough to roll. But, this can be kept in the fridge for 2 days until you are ready to use it.
• When chilled lightly roll on a floured surface to about 1/8 thickness.Pro tip - if the dough cracks too much around the edges it means it is too chilled. Leave it on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes until you are able to roll again smoothly
• Use your 9-inch tart pan as a guide to know how big you need to roll it. Transfer the dough to the tart pan.Pro tip - to transfer the dough easily, roll over the rolling pin and then unroll over the pan.
• Gently press the dough into the tart pan making sure to press down into the shape of the pan with removable bottom.Pro tip - this dough is delicate so if it breaks don't worry so much. Just patch it and do the best you can. It will be filled with custard so no one will see the patches ????
• Trim the excess dough at the edges with a rolling pin, or your thumb. Chill the tart shell for a minimum of 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven at 375°F / 190°C / Gas Mark 5
• Line the chilled dough with parchment paper and fill it with baking beans or pie weights.Pro tip - the best way to line the pie with parchment is to scrunch the paper into a ball, open it, and line with the crumpled paper.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are lightly starting to brown. Remove the parchment paper and weights.
• Continue to bake the empty shell for 10 to 15 minutes more until lightly golden brown. Cool on a cooling rack until completely coldPro tip - this is a fully baked tart shell and can be used to add any filling once cooled completely. Do not remove from the pan until you have finished assembling
• In a medium bowl combine egg yolks, sugar, salt, vanilla, and cornstarch. Whisk until light and foamy. Gradually, add the milk and cream a little at a time to prevent lumps
• Place the saucepan on medium heat and let the mixture come to an almost boil. Keep stirring with a whisk at all times - taking it off the heat if necessary to prevent curdling.Pro tip - This has to be cooked slowly on low heat with constant stirring or the mixture will curdle. You will notice the big bubbles start to disappear as the mixture thickens.
• When thick and coats the back of a spoon. Strain thru a sieve. Finally, add the butter and give it a good mix. Pro tip - straining the mixture will remove any curdled eggs and the butter will give it a nice velvety texture.
• Cover the custard with plastic wrap making sure the plastic is in contact with the surface of the custard to prevent skin from forming.Pro tip - a skin will make a very lumpy custard filling so we want the plastic to touch the surface of the custard.
• Place in the fridge to cool completely. When cooled place the custard in the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and whip for 2 minutes on high until light and fluffyPro tip - The custard will whip light and fluffy. It also gives a smooth glossy filling that looks like mousse and will hold better
• In a saucepan add the blueberries, sugar, salt, and half the water. Cook on medium-low until all the sugar had dissolved. Pro tip - the sugar will melt and the mixture will look very runny. The blueberries will swell soaking some of the sugar syrup so keep the heat to low and let it simmer slowly.
• Add cornstarch to the remaining water - stir well. Add the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook until the mixture becomes thick and glossyPro tip - cornstarch tends to settle down so make sure to stir before you add it to anything
• Continue to cook on medium - the mixture will thicken and looks glossy. The color will change from an opaque light red to a translucent deep red color.Pro tip - it is important that the cornstarch comes to a boil only then will it go from opaque to a transparent glossy sheen. This means the cornstarch is cooked.
• When glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon or spatula it's ready. Remove from heat. Cool completely until ready to use it.
• Pour the whipped vanilla pastry cream into the baked and cooled shortcrust pastry.Pro tip - the shell is quite delicate so keep the pastry shell in the tart pan until you have assembled the tart.
• Gently spoon the cooled blueberry filling over the pastry cream. Spread it carefully making sure to not disturb the pastry cream too much.Pro tip - if the blueberry filling is too thick, add a few tablespoons of hot water and give it a good mix. That will help smoothen it out.
• Chill the tart in the fridge for at least 3 hours. When cooled and set - garnish with the fresh blueberries. I placed some in the center and dusted it with powdered sugar.Pro tip - Alternatively, you can also pipe some whipped cream along the edges of the tart for a bakery-style tart effect.
• Enjoy!

BLUEBERRY BUTTER TARTS

Steps:

• Roll out pastry and cut to fit tart tins (I use mini tarts but you can use muffin tins-this will increase the cooking time) preheat oven to 375°F.
• In large bowl, whisk egg, syrup, lemon juice and vanilla.
• In medium bowl, mix sugar and flour.
• Stir into egg mixture with butter.
• Divide berries into uncooked pastry shells.
• Pour egg mixture to top of shells.
• Bake 18-23 minutes.
• Remove tarts from tins immediately or the sugar will harden and they will stick tarts will firm up as they cool.

BLUEBERRY TART

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.

MINI BLUEBERRY PIE TARTS (VIDEO)

Steps:

• For the butter crust: place the flour, sugar, and salt into a food processor, along with the ice cold butter. Pulse for a few minutes until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Slowly add in the cold water and continue mixing until dough comes together to form a ball, about 30 seconds. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface and knead the dough into a smooth ball; don't overwork the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and place into refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, toss together the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon juice. Stir until berries are coated.
• Roll out the chilled dough into large rectangle; the dough needs to be on the thin side. Use a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter or glass/cup to cut out small circles. Drop dough circles into mini-cupcake tins; I used a 24-count pan. Using your fingers or the bottom of a shot glass, press the dough into the bottom and sides of tin. Top with a generous and overflowing amount of blueberries.
• Bake the mini tarts at 350F for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the tarts turn a golden brown color. Remove the tarts from the pan, using a spoon, onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Once cooled, drizzle the top with melted white chocolate. I used the microwave to melt mine and placed the chocolate into a zip-lock bag, then cut off a tiny tip off the edge.

BLUEBERRY TART KING

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry into a 12 1/2-inch square and fit it into a 10- by 1-inch round tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Roll rolling pin over top of rim to trim excess pastry and with a fork lightly prick bottom and sides all over.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using bottom of tart pan as a guide, trace a 10-inch circle on parchment and turn paper over. In a small bowl whisk together egg and water for an egg wash.
• On lightly floured surface with floured rolling pin roll out remaining sheet of puff pastry into a 12-inch square and with fork prick it all over. With a 2 1/2-inch star-shaped cutter cut out about 20 stars and lightly brush with egg wash. Arrange stars, slightly overlapping, to fill in circle on parchment paper, leaving spaces so that parchment shows through. (This will be top crust.) Lightly brush star crust again with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Chill shell and star crust until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. while pastry is chilling.
• Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake shell in lower third and stars in upper third of oven 10 minutes, or until star crust is golden. Remove shell and stars from oven. Cool star crust on baking sheet on a rack. Carefully remove foil and weights or rice and bake shell until golden, 8 to 10 minutes more. (Do not worry if bottom of shell puffs up; the filling will weigh it down later.) Cool shell in pan on rack.
• In a 3-quart saucepan combine filling ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring until berries have burst and mixture is liquid. Cook mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, or until tapioca is dissolved and filling is slightly thickened. Remove pan from heat and cool filling.
• Remove rim from tart pan and transfer shell to a plate. Spread filling evenly in tart shell. Carefully slide star crust onto filling.

BLUEBERRY OAT TART

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, honey, lemon zest and juice, and cardamom and bring to a boil. Let the mixture bubble for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula and swirling the pan around. Once it is thick and syrupy and the blueberries have broken down, remove from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the labneh with half of the blueberry syrup. Fold together until combined but still a little streaky.
• Spread the labneh mixture evenly in the oat tart shell, then drizzle on remaining syrup and swirl. Top with chopped toasted cashews, fresh blueberries and a drizzle of honey. Allow the tart to set in the refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours. Remove the crust from the pan by pressing up the bottom, then transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
• Toast the oats in a medium, non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the oats are light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the toasted oats to a food processor along with the cashews, hemp seeds, brown sugar and salt and blend until very fine, like the consistency of fine breadcrumbs. Add the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla and blend until combined and the mixture starts to form a dough. It'll still look crumbly in the food processor but if you squeeze some in your hand it should stick together. Press into a 14" x 4.5" rectangular fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, spreading it out firmly and evenly. Refrigerate until firm and cold to the touch, at least 1 hour.
• In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, salt and lemon juice until fully incorporated.
• Line a strainer or colander with 2 or 3 layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl or other receptacle that can catch the liquid.
• Transfer yogurt mixture to the strainer and twist up the ends of the cheesecloth. Place another bowl on top to weigh down the mixture and then refrigerate overnight, allowing the liquid to drain.
