Total Time
1 Hour 11 Minutes
Ingredients
3 large British Lion eggs
140g of caster sugar
3 unwaxed lemons, juiced (150ml) & zested
75g of unsalted butter, diced
30 blueberries
30 mini tart cases
15g of unsalted pistachios, very finely chopped, to garnish (optional)
Method
Step 1

Crack two of the eggs and one egg yolk into a medium, heatproof bowl. Place the remaining egg white into a small bowl.

Step 2

Add 100g sugar, the lemon juice and zest to the medium bowl and whisk well. Add the butter to the bowl and place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir the mixture until the butter has melted, around 5 minutes. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring continuously with a whisk until it thickens, around 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool (you can pour it into a wide shallow bowl to speed up this process).

Step 4

Meanwhile lightly whisk the egg white with a fork. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on a large plate. Dip a few blueberries at a time into the egg white then toss them in the sugar and set aside. Repeat with the remaining blueberries.

Step 5

Pipe or spoon the curd into the tart cases then top each one with a frosted blueberry. Garnish with pistachios if desired.
