Spring is near. So why not celebrate with something pretty to look at on your dessert plate? Well, would you like to stare my blueberry tart for a moment?

How to make Blueberry Tart with Puff Pastry

puff pastry

Place the thawed puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with silicon mat or parchment paper. Score lines about 1″ from the edges of the pastry with a back of your knife. DO NOT cut through. Just score it deep.

Brush the edges with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. This will make very crisp and sweet tart crust.

Put them in a preheated 375 degree oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden and puffed!

tutorial-6

While hot, score the line near the edge again.

Press the center part of the pastry gently. They will collapse like this. It’s kind of fun to see it happens. You need to let this cool, about 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, let’s make the filling. Combine cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar and the lemon zest. Whip until nice and fluffy.

Spread the filling evenly over the sunken part of the cooled pastry.

Scatter your lovely blueberries over the filling and sprinkle with powdered sugar for a stylish look. And your tart is ready-yo!

I was gonna take a photo to show the flaky layer of the pastry after one or two bites, then I forgot.  I luckily remembered just at the moment of the very last bite entering into my mouth. You can still see the flaky layer of the crust and the creamy filling. Oh, and the explosion of the fresh blueberries in your mouth! Just lovely!

The recipe supposedly yield 8 servings, but I found it is hard to believe, because I could eat the whole thing if I let myself to. However, it will adequately serve 4 people.

I can see the possibilities with this recipe with fresh raspberries or other type of berries in season. Peaches would be great, too.

So, if you see some fresh blueberries in the store grab a packet or two. It will brighten your day and your dessert plate like no other.

Bursting with fresh blueberries and creamy filling makes this blueberry tart so irresistible.
