Description
A jewel-topped tart with a crisp, buttery sugar-cookie crust, creamy mascarpone glaze, and bright fresh fruit that brings the essence of summer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 115 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cold, cubed
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 225 g (1 cup) mascarpone cheese
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) heavy cream
- 60 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 400–500 g (3–4 cups) assorted fruit (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, peach slices)
- 2 tbsp apricot jam + 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Make the dough by whisking flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat cold butter and sugar until sandy, add egg, and mix until just combined. Chill for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Roll dough into a circle, transfer to pan, and chill. Bake for 14 minutes until pale golden and cool.
- Prepare the mascarpone glaze by whisking together mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Chill briefly if too soft.
- Wash and dry fruit thoroughly. Slice strawberries and other fruits as needed and pat dry with paper towels.
- Spread the mascarpone glaze evenly over the cooled crust and arrange the fruit in a decorative pattern.
- Warm apricot jam with water, strain, and brush over fruit for shine. Chill for 20–30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Chill the crust before glazing to prevent mascarpone from running. Use a sharp knife for slicing without damaging the fruit.
