for a 10 1/4 inches cake pan
14 1/8 ounces (400 grams) pie crust
14 1/8 ounces (400 grams) condensed milk
7 1/8 ounces (200 grams) blueberries
1 lemon
3 egg yolks

So they are saying the upcoming weekend is about to get really nasty. If you are planning to stay indoors and would like to sweeten the weekend a little bit, here’s a perfect recipe for you. This is a very simple yet yummy and truly irresistible tart.

Preheat oven to 390F, pave the cake pan with baking paper. Put the dough into the form, make sure to spread it evenly thick. Then evenly prick the dough with a fork in various places and place the pan into your oven for about 15 minutes, until it gets lightly browned. While the base is baking, prepare the cream. Mix the egg yolks with condensed milk, zest and juice of 1 lemon. Then add the berries and mix gently.

When the dough is browned, remove the pan from the oven, fill with cream and put it back into the oven for another 25-30 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven, let it cool down and serve with milk / coffee / tea / insert your favorite drink here.

    This sort of reminds me of a clafoutis :-)

      Clafoutis are made of a liquid dough though :) Plus this one is a little more complex, we love the challenge!

      Thanks! :)

      Unfortunately, not: I wasn’t making that myself, as they sell pretty good pie crust here where we live
