Ingredients

Scale
  • For the crust:
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1–2 tablespoons cold water
  • For the mascarpone filling:
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the berry gelée:
  • 1½ cups mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • Topping:
  • Fresh berries (red currants, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
  • Edible flowers or mint (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a food processor, blend flour and powdered sugar. Add butter and pulse until crumbly. Add egg yolk and water and pulse until dough forms. Press into tart pan and chill 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake crust for 18–20 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  3. Make the filling: Beat mascarpone, cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly into cooled crust. Chill while preparing gelée.
  4. Make the gelée: In a saucepan, simmer berries, water, sugar, and lemon juice for 5 minutes. Blend and strain to remove seeds. Stir in softened gelatin and let cool slightly.
  5. Pour berry gelée over mascarpone filling and chill for at least 2 hours until set.
  6. Top with fresh berries and edible flowers just before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the crust is fully cooled before adding the filling to prevent melting.
  • Use a fine mesh strainer for a smooth gelée.
  • Can be made a day ahead and topped with berries before serving.
