Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the pastry by mixing flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Rub in the butter until crumbly.
- Add the egg yolk and mix to form a dough. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough, line a tart pan, prick the base, and bake at 170°C for 20–25 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
- In a chilled bowl, soften the mascarpone slightly, then add cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest.
- Whip until the mixture forms firm peaks and becomes smooth and airy.
- Spread a thin layer of cream over the cooled tart base.
- Transfer remaining cream to a piping bag and pipe decorative swirls around the tart.
- Arrange fresh raspberries in the center and dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Assemble the tart shortly before serving to keep the crust crisp. Ensure all dairy ingredients are very cold for a stable whipped cream. You can substitute raspberries with strawberries or blueberries.
