I found another recipe in Pil Incredibly Easy Desserts that caught my eye; there is just something about blueberry and lemons that they go well together, add cheese to an already winning combination and you are sure to have a mouth-watering dessert. Even better, you are actually spending less than 10 minutes preparing it!
Lemony Blueberry Cheese Tart
9-inch refrigerated or frozen and thawed pie crust
8-oz mascarpone or cream cheese, softened
5 Tbsp. lemon curd, divided
2 cups fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 375F.
Press the pie crust into a 9-inch tart pan (or leave it in the aluminum pie tin). Pierce the bottom and sides of the pie with the tines of a fork. Bake until lightly browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and refrigerate for about 10 minutes until cool.
Meanwhile, stir together the cheese and 3 tablespoons of lemon curd in a small bowl. (Use a little of milk if the mixture is too thick to spread). Set aside.
In a medium bowl, gently stir in the blueberries and the rest of the lemon curd(2 tablespoons) until thoroughly combined.
Spread the cheese mixture in the bottom of the cooled tart shell and spoon the blueberries mixture over the cheese layer. Cover and chill for about two hours.

Ooo, yummy!!! I never thought of mixing blueberries and lemon, but sounds intriguing. We have quite a large low bush blueberry industry in Nova Scotia, those are my favourite. Much smaller than the high bush, but absolutely packed with flavour.

This looks really good (and it couldn't be easier). I like lemon desserts the best, more than chocolate.

That looks great Candi -- I love anything lemon. And I'm headed out to visit my family next week, so I'm looking for recipes to feed to my brothers.
What do you use for lemon curd?

Sandra, you would love the taste and ease of this. I just buy lemon curd from the jam isle in the grocery store, this particular time I used Robertsons Lemon Curd.
