Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2-3 tbsp cold water
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup blackberries
- 1 tbsp apricot jam warmed (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and powdered sugar. Use your fingers or a food processor to create a crumbly texture. Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Bake the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and press it into the tart pan. Trim excess dough. Prick the bottom with a fork, line with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, remove weights, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
- Make the Filling:
- In a bowl, beat the heavy cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until thick and fluffy.
- Assemble the Tart:
- Spread the filling evenly into the cooled crust. Arrange the berries on top in your preferred design.
- Optional Glaze:
- Brush the berries lightly with warmed apricot jam for a glossy finish.
