Strawberry Mascarpone Tart


Notes

Lemon cream variation: fill with lemon curd then sift powdered sugar over the top or top with Swiss meringue, then torch
if desired.

Ingredients

For the tart shell:


6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
5 ounces flour

For the filling:


1 pound mascarpone (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

For serving:
Strawberries, stemmed and halved or quartered (blueberries or raspberries would be nice too)

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 410°F.


2. In a Pyrex type oven-safe bowl, combine the butter, oil, water, sugar, and salt. Place in the hot oven for
approximately 15 minutes, until the mixture is boiling and the butter starts browning. Remove from oven; add
flour quickly, until it forms a ball.
3. Once the dough is cool enough to touch, press it in to the tart mold evenly with your fingertips. Pierce the bottom
with a fork; line the sides with the back of the fork to form ridges. Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is light
brown and shows fine cracks. Remove carefully from oven. It is ready for filling. Note: David Lebovitz
recommends a brilliant patching technique for any cracks — just reserve a small knob of dough to spackle into
any cracks after baking while it's still warm. (No need to bake again.)
4. Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk together mascarpone, powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and a pinch
of salt until smooth.
5. When tart shell has completely cooled, spread mascarpone filling over top. Top with fresh berries. Serve
immediately or chill until ready to serve.
