Dessert is a must at our house and this Blueberry Tart is one of our favourites. I am certain my daughter chooses her main course with dessert in mind. These dainty little tarts make a delicious statement at the end of any meal.
This no-bake dessert is very easy to prepare and looks much fussier than it is.
All you need to serve with it, is a fork and a napkin.
Enjoy.
