LEMON BLUEBERRY SHORTBREAD TART

I’ll admit it, I don’t bake often because baking can be tricky sometimes, especially when creating gluten-free baked goods. So, with that being said, this lemon blueberry shortbread tart is not gluten-free, however, it is mighty delicious. I never realized how dang easy a shortbread crust was until this recipe. I’ve made shortbread cookies in the past, but never attempted it as a tart crust. If you’re looking for quick and easy this dessert recipe is for you. I used a rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom. I used the Wilton Long Rectangle Tart Pan. It’s non-stick plus has the removable bottom, which makes transferring your tart from pan to serving platter super easy.

I’ve done gluten-free tarts before using a gluten-free pie crust recipe, but for this shortbread crust, I stuck with traditional ingredients. If you need gluten-free, I know there are some GF shortbread crusts out there on the web, and who knows, maybe I’ll create a GF version next time just to experiment! The lemon filling combined with the shortbread crust almost makes these more like gooey lemon bars that a traditional custard-like tart but nonetheless they were so moist and delicious. I added fresh blueberries to the top and sprinkled with a little powdered sugar. I may or may not have devoured these within a week’s time. Oops!
