How To Make Mascarpone And Raspberry Tart

Ingredients

• 3 packs of raspberries (approx. 450g)

MASCARPONE MOUSSE

• 100g mascarpone
• 100g heavy cream
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Zest of 1 grapefruit
• 30g sugar

SUGAR CRUST TART BASE

• 250g flour
• 50g confectioners’ sugar
• 125g butter
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 pinch of salt
• 30g water

Directions

Step 1. Mascarpone Mousse

1. Whip the very cold heavy cream with the sugar into chantilly. Beat the mascarpone with the finely grated grapefruit and lemon zest.
2. Then carefully blend in the chantilly.

Step 2. Sugar Crust Tart Base

1. Rub the flour and butter cut into small cubes between your hands. When the butter has been completely ‘absorbed’ by the flour, add the confectioners’ sugar.
2. Add the egg yolk and cold water, then a pinch of salt. Mix all the ingredients. Cool in the fridge for 30 minutes so that the butter hardens.
3. Roll out the pastry and put it in a buttered pan. Place over it a piece of parchment paper cut to size with weights in it and cook in the oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes (keep an eye on the color).
4. Then remove the parchment paper with weights and use a brush to spread a little of the beaten whole egg over the inside of the cooked pastry (base and sides). Put back into the oven for 5 min. The egg will waterproof the pastry base.
5.  When the base is cold, add the cream to the base and top with the raspberries placed upside down.
