Blueberry Oat Tart Recipes

BLUEBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, butter, and powdered sugar together until a dough forms. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, toss blueberries with cornstarch and place in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and lemon extract. Simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing the berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour blueberry filling over the cooled crust. Let cool before slicing.

BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE TARTS

BLUEBERRY CRISP WITH OAT CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Butter a shallow 2-quart casserole dish.
• In a large bowl, combine the 6 cups of blueberries, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of instant tapioca, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix gently to combine thoroughly.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and let it stand for at least 15 minutes. This gives the tapioca time to soften.
• In another bowl combine the 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 cup of melted butter, and 2/3 cup of brown sugar; stir to blend. Spoon the topping mixture over the top of the berries; spread gently, covering completely.
• Bake the blueberry crisp in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

BLUEBERRY COOKIE TART

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom with no-stick cooking spray. Place on 15 x 10-inch baking sheet.
• COMBINE cookie mix and butter in large bowl with fork until coarse crumbs form. Add lemon peel and vanilla; stir with fork. Reserve 1/3 cup for topping. Pat remaining dough lightly in prepared pan.
• BAKE 15 minutes. Stir preserves and cinnamon in small bowl. Spoon over top of baked cookie to within 1-inch of edge. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs.
• BAKE 5 to 7 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 20 minutes. Remove outer rim from pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

BLUEBERRY CREAM TART

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix. Make a well in the center and place the butter and egg yolk in the well. Using your fingers, work the butter and egg yolk together until well combined, then work the butter-egg mixture into the flour-sugar mixture until combined but still loose. The dough will be crumbly, but when you squeeze a handful, it should hold together.
• Sprinkle the dough into a 10-inch pie or tart pan. Press the dough firmly and evenly onto the bottom and sides of the pan, making sure not to let the crust thicken at the corners. It should make a clean right angle where the sides meet the bottom. Chill the crust at least 30 minutes, or covered, up to 3 days. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake until light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before filling.
• Blueberry Bavarian Cream: Pick over the blueberries, setting aside the best ones to make a circle around the edge of the finished tart. (You'll need about 1 cup.) Heat the milk and vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium heat just until it boils. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 10 minutes. Combine the gelatin and water in a small bowl, and let dissolve, stirring occasionally, until no dry spots remain.
• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly pour the still-hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees, the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough. When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat.
• Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water half way. Strain the mixture into a medium bowl to smooth it and remove the vanilla bean. Pour off 1 cup of this mixture (Anglaise) into a large bowl and set aside. Place the medium bowl containing the remainder of the mixture in the ice water and let cool, stirring often. Add the gelatin to the cup of hot Anglaise in the large bowl and mix until completely dissolved, creating a Bavarian cream. Working quickly, fold the larger amount of berries into the Bavarian cream and spoon the mixture into the center of the tart shell. Spread until smooth and even. Before the filling cools completely, arrange the reserved berries around the edge of the tart to form a rim. Chill at least 2 hours and serve in slices, pouring a bit of the Anglaise next to each side.
