Ingredients

  • Pastry crust:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese chilled
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ice cold water
  • Filling:
  • 8-10 cups of fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • cup small pearl tapioca
  • 1 egg beaten
  • granulated sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients together. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work in the butter and cream cheese until you have small pea-size pieces. Add the lemon juice and enough ice cold water until the dough forms into a ball when pressed together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. This dough will be slightly sticky.
  • Place in a Ziploc bag and chill for 1-2 hours. You can prepare this dough a day ahead of time if desired.
  • Roll out small rounds and scoop fruit evenly into the pastry. Gently fold the dough towards the center, pinching it to itself.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a half baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Brush the tart crusts with an egg wash and sprinkle with a dusting of granulated sugar. Bake until the crust is lightly golden brown, about 30 minutes or so. Cool on a baking rack for about 10 minutes. Serve with whipped cream.
