Spring always feels like the perfect season to try something new, and I’ve been bringing that spirit of freshness into my kitchen lately. While blueberries aren’t usually my go-to fruit, I challenged myself to find a creative and delicious way to enjoy them—and I think I’ve found it. I love recipes that strike that just-right balance of flavors, and this blueberry almond tart does exactly that.

With fresh, tart blueberries suspended in a creamy custard filling, each bite offers a delicate blend of brightness and warmth. The subtle savoriness of the almond complements the fruit beautifully, making this dessert feel both refreshing and indulgent. I like to take the time to make a homemade shortbread crust—it’s surprisingly simple and adds a rich, buttery texture that pairs so well with the filling. But if you’re in a pinch, a store-bought crust will do just fine too.

Another thing I love about this tart is its versatility—you can serve it warm for a cozy treat or chilled for something a little lighter and more refreshing. A handful of toasted almond flakes on top adds just the right finishing touch. It’s the kind of dessert that feels special without being fussy, and it’s perfect for sharing. We now have blueberries available for picking in our orchard, and this recipe is a great way to enjoy them! Check our pick-your-own availability here.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease and set a 9-inch tart pan. If you have a pan with a removable bottom, you may want to place it on a baking sheet for easier handling.
To make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and powdered sugar. Add the butter in small chunks and mix with a paddle attachment on medium until uniform crumbs form. Place the dough into the tart pan, and firmly and evenly press into shape.
To make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, heavy cream, egg, sugar, and almond extract until well combined.
Pour the tart filling into the prepared crust and evenly distribute fresh blueberries over the filling, pressing down slightly so that they are mostly submerged.
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling has set and the crust is golden, about 25 minutes. When you take the crust out of the oven, the center of the crust should wobble ever-so-slightly, while the outsides remain set. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm, or chilled from the refrigerator.
