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!

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.

- Using a fork, mix the cornstarch and lemon juice together in a small bowl until the cornstarch has dissolved. Set aside. Warm the blueberries and sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally for 3 minutes, mashing the blueberries as best you can against the bottom and sides of the pan to help break them up. Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 2 more minutes as the sauce thickens, stirring and mashing the blueberries to break them up as desired. Remove sauce from heat and set aside at room temperature until step 6. Makes about 1/2 – 2/3 cup blueberry sauce and you’ll use about half for the swirl. (Reserve extra for garnish/serving.)
- Mix the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir to completely combine. The dough will be a little greasy and very thick. Using a rubber spatula or your hands, press dough firmly into a 9-inch tart pan (no need to grease it), making sure the layer of crust is even on the bottom and all around the sides. It may seem like it won’t fit, but it will. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack the crust in too, but sometimes it sticks.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. Remove from the oven. Using a fork, poke a few holes all over the top of the warm crust (not all the way through the crust). This helps the filling stick.
