failed attempt: blueberry tart - what to do?

Instead of something red on Valentine's, I thought of going blue.  Tried making blueberry tart for the first time.  But after eating just half of one tart, we stopped.  The crust did not taste right, may be I did not bake it well.  And the blueberry topping made at home did not set well, may be because I was stingy in adding cornstarch.  So, the truth is, my dessert for valentine's dinner sucked.

But what do I do with the failed blueberry tart now?

Blueberry Tart did not turn out right?  No problem, here's a solution.

Instead of struggling to finish eating it the next day, this is what I did in the morning: I put some homemade curd in the blender cup, scooped out the blueberry topping from the tart, added a pinch of sugar (keeping in mind the sweetness of blueberry topping), some plain water, two cubes of ice, put the blender blade on, blended for 15 seconds.

Blueberry Lassi work in progress

And we started our morning with a vibrant colored Blueberry Lassi.  It was this simple to...

     1) make a lassi - and making lassi with anything is really as easy as 1-2-3,

     2) use the blueberry topping from the tart instead of throwing it all away,

     3) transform a dessert into a breakfast idea.

Some people would put milk in a lassi, but to me - milk is for milkshake and yogurt is for lassi.

Blueberry Lassi - simple and quick

Had I not put lemon juice and lemon zest in the blueberry topping, may be I could have made Blueberry Milkshake with it.  Anyhow, we enjoyed this Blueberry Lassi made from Blueberry Tart Topping.

Shhhh.  No one needs to know.
