Spoonful of Something

Mini Blueberry Tarts

Hope everyone had an absolutely wonderful Valentine’s day! Whether it was full of chocolate, roses, pizza, or movies- I hope everyone received some love & shared some too. Personally speaking, I’ve never been that big on Valentine’s day…and no, it’s not even the argument that it’s commercialized or whatever, but I just don’t get the big deal? I’m more of a “show spontaneous love” not a “this is mandatory/expected” which I think is the pressure that falls on Valentine’s day.

And yet, this year, Valentine’s day was freaking wonderful. I can finally get behind this holiday. Like best day I’ve had in a LONG time (and my days are pretty good fortunately so that’s saying something). I got to hang out with friends, everyone got some flowers (courtesy of the absolute SWEETEST girl I know), I unexpectedly got delicious dark chocolates (and am currently in the process of finishing them off already, shh), I had a wonderful Nashville-Style Hot Chicken Sandwich for dinner (have been meaning to get that recipe on here for quite some time now & it’s in the works)– and then with all the joy/love that was in the air, I decided I needed to bake.

So here are some super cute mini blueberry tarts! I was originally planning on making mini pies, but how could I cover up those cute little blueberry pearls?! They look so perfect & scrumptious! Also I’m forever obsessed with how fruit bubbles up and stains over crust, it makes the whole effect just 10x better.

Also –> real shout out to friends who make you feel loved- AND also (equally important)- friends who know your favorite type of chocolate & make it a point to treat you with some! You guys are the real MVPs.

For Crust
  1. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold & diced
  2. 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  3. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 2+ tablespoons cold water
  5. 1 tablespoon butter
For Filling
  1. 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  2. 1 tablespoon flour
  3. 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  4. 2 tablespoons sugar
  5. 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
For Crust
  1. In a food processor, combine flour, salt, and cold butter. Process until it forms coarse crumbs.
  2. Add tablespoons of water one at a time, pulsing between additions. Eventually this should form a ball of dough.
  3. Place the ball of dough onto a baking mat or marble slab. With a piece of wax or parchment paper on top, roll the dough out to about 1/4" thickness. Add flour if the dough sticks to the slab or the rolling pin.
  4. Lift crust and place it in tart ring, pressing it gently into the mold.
  5. Repeat the previous step for the additional tarts. *Take 2 inches of dough aside and create fun cut outs to place on top of the tart, if desired.
  6. Set aside.
For filling
  1. In a big bowl, pour the blueberries together and sprinkle with the lemon juice.
  2. Add in the rest of the dry ingredients and mix to coat the berries.
  3. Pour prepared berries into the crust.
  4. Dot the visible dough (and dough cut out) with butter.
  5. Place the tarts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. *Also place the cut outs if you are using them, on the sheet but not on the tart.
  6. Bake the tart in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. *If you are baking cut outs, they will bake faster and be done in approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove the cutouts when they are done and allow the tarts to keep baking.
  7. Once the tarts are browned, take them out & place the cutouts on top. Allow to slightly cool and then serve!
