Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix flour, icing sugar, and salt. Add butter and rub until sandy. Incorporate the egg and form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough, place in a tart pan, prick the base, and bake blind for 15–20 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
- In a cold bowl, whisk mascarpone until smooth. Add cold cream, icing sugar, and vanilla. Whip until thick and firm.
- Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on the cooled tart base if desired.
- Pipe or spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the tart.
- Arrange raspberries on top, placing them upright and close together.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for best texture and clean slicing.
Notes
For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the cream or garnish with mint leaves. Always use very cold cream for a stable texture. Assemble close to serving time to keep the crust crisp.
