Directions
Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Beat butter with sugar and add salt and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add flour and mix the dough.
- Blend the nuts and add together with the chopped rosemary to the dough.
- Brush the forms of your choice with butter or oil.
- Put an even layer of dough and form all the tartlets.
- Fork the bottom and edges of the tartalettes.
- Put them in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Put the chilled tartalettes in the oven for about 20-25 minutes.
- After baking, take them out and let them cool down while preparing the cream.
Curd:
- Wash the blueberries, put them into a pot together with grated lemon peel and 2 tablespoons of water.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook by stirring occasionally for another 5-8 minutes.
- Using a spoon, crush the boiled blueberries, then drain the juice from the pulp using a strainer and let it cool down.
- Beat butter with sugar.
- Add eggs, yolks, lemon juice, salt, corn flour and cooled blueberry juice mixture.
- Mix everything together. Don't worry if the mixture looks like it's full of lumps.
- Pour the mixture into a glass bowl and place it on a pot with boiling water.
- Using the prepared water bath, heat the mixture while stirring all the time until it starts to thicken (about ~15-20 minutes). The mixture will start to set when it reaches a temperature of about 77°C (170°F).
- When the mass starts to thicken, pour it again through a sieve, leave it to cool for several minutes and pour it into the previously prepared crust forms.
- Place the prepared tartalettes in the fridge for at least one hour. Before serving you can decorate them with fresh blueberries or nuts.
