Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt.
Add chilled butter cubes and mix until crumbly.
Stir in egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until dough forms.
Press dough into a greased tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Chill for 15 minutes.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together lemon juice, zest, honey, eggs, and yolks until mixed well.
Gradually heat while stirring continuously until it thickens (about 10 minutes).
Remove from heat; stir in butter pieces until melted. Pour over cooled crust.
In another saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries with honey and cook until they start to release juices.
Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry; add to blueberry mixture to thicken.
Stir gently until combined; pour over lemon curd layer.
Refrigerate the tart for at least four hours or overnight to set completely.
