Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, for garnish
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed measuring cup to press the crust firmly into the pan.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1/3 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In another small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the blueberry filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Carefully spoon the thickened cornstarch mixture over the blueberry filling, spreading it out evenly. This will create a glossy finish on the tart.
- Arrange 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries on top of the tart for garnish.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, dust the tart with powdered sugar. Slice and enjoy!
