5 Ingredient Strawberry Rose Tart
Description
This tart assembles a simple cookie crumb crust from crushed cookies and melted butter, pressed firmly into a tart pan. The crust sets firm to provide a crisp base for the creamy filling.
The filling mixes mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Optional additions of lemon juice or vanilla extract enhance the flavor subtly. Once chilled to set, the filling becomes stable and provides a smooth surface for the strawberry decoration.
Fresh strawberries cut into rose shapes adorn the top, bringing a visually appealing and fresh fruit component that contrasts with the rich filling and crumbly crust. Drizzling honey and adding fresh mint leaves before serving add sweetness and a hint of herbaceous freshness, rounding out the tart’s flavor profile.
This dessert is suitable for occasions needing a simple yet refined presentation without complex preparation. It can be made ahead and held chilled until serving.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs such as graham crackers, biscoff cookies, oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 12 ounces mascarpone cheese at room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 pints strawberries cut into roses if you’re feeling fancy
- extras if you wish, but only if you have these things on hand:
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- honey for drizzling
- mint fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- To make the crust, stir together the cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined and all the crumbs are moistened. Press the crust into a 4 x 14 inch tart pan, pressing it up along the sides until packed. This will also work in an 8-inch round tart pan.
- Stir together the mascarpone and sugar until creamy and combined. If you have lemon juice or vanilla extract on hand, add a splash. Spread the mascarpone on the graham crust evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- While the tart is in the fridge, cut the strawberries. I used this tutorial to cut them into roses. Right before serving, place the strawberries on the mascarpone tart. If desired, you can drizzle the strawberries with honey or add a few fresh mint leaves for garnish. You can serve immediately, or keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
