Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Sauce by whisking together cornstarch and lemon juice in a small bowl. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries and sugar, crushing the berries slightly, and cook for about 5 minutes until juicy. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool.
- Make the Shortbread Crust by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour to form a thick dough. Press the dough into a tart pan evenly. Bake for approximately 15 minutes until golden brown, then remove from oven to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Filling by whisking together condensed milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolk in a medium bowl until well blended. Set aside.
- Assemble the Tart by pouring the lemon filling evenly into the tart shell. Spoon the blueberry sauce over the filling in dollops and swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake the assembled tart for another 17-19 minutes, observing the center which should be just set but slightly soft. Let cool at room temperature.
- Cool and Chill the tart completely on a wire rack for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes
Fresh blueberries enhance the tart's flavor; adjust sugar based on lemon tartness and garnish with lemon zest.
