Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, lemon zest, and melted butter for the crust. Mix until well combined.
-
Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to help press it evenly.
-
Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread it out evenly.
-
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set. Let it cool completely before adding the lemon curd.
-
To make the lemon curd, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, egg yolks, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
-
Remove the lemon curd from heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Let it cool slightly before pouring it over the cheesecake layer in the tart.
-
Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set the lemon curd.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, water, and cornstarch for the topping. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the blueberries soften slightly.
-
Remove from heat and let the blueberry topping cool before spooning it over the set lemon curd layer.
-
Chill the Lemon Curd Cheesecake Tart in the refrigerator for another hour to set the blueberry topping.
