Easy Blueberry and Lemon Tart

This recipe is so easy and barely requires any actual cooking. I am very aware that not everybody enjoys cooking or is particularly good at it, neither does everyone feel inclined to make their own pastry, even if I tell them how easy it is. But I am quite certain, everyone loves tasty food. This recipe is with those people in mind, that don‘t have the time or inclination to slave over a show stopping dessert for their guests, but that want to offer them something homemade and tasty.

To be perfectly honest, even if you love cooking and make your own pastry, life don‘t always allow and you have to cut a few corners now and then, and that is perfectly okay too.

This can be made with all sorts of fruits but berries are easiest as they require no chopping.
