Scale
For the Tart Shell:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
For the Blueberry Ganache Filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Tart Shell: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease tart pans. In a bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and ice water, mixing just until a dough forms. Roll out the dough and press it into tart pans. Prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Make the Blueberry Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat blueberries and heavy cream over medium heat until simmering. Mash the blueberries slightly and strain the mixture to remove solids. Pour the hot blueberry cream over the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract and honey.
- Assemble the Tarts: Pour the blueberry ganache into the cooled tart shells. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until set. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
