Strawberry Rose Tart
A stunning and simple tart featuring fresh strawberries and a creamy mascarpone filling, perfect for brunch or dessert.
Ingredients
Tart
- 1 piece pre-made tart shell
Filling
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Garnish
- Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven according to the tart shell instructions and warm the shell briefly if directed.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly into the pre-made tart shell with a spatula.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the mascarpone, starting at the outer edge and working inward to form a rose pattern.
- Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving.
Notes
Use ripe but firm strawberries so slices hold the rose shape. Chill the tart well; cold filling firms up for cleaner slices. Gently pat strawberries dry to avoid watering down the filling. If mascarpone feels too thick, fold in a tablespoon of cream to loosen it slightly. Keep leftovers covered in the fridge and eat within 48 hours for best texture.
