Instructions
- Wash and clean the strawberries and cut them in half. Place them in a bowl and add the juice of the two oranges all over and let them sit. Wash and drain the blueberries.
Make the crust
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Using a mixer (hand or regular) mix together butter, flour, and confectioner’s sugar, 2-3 min.
- Add dough to the tart pan and press all over, and up the edges until it is evenly distributed. Trim edges with a knife if you have to and add the extra dough to any bald or thin patches.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before filling.
Prepare the filling
- Using a mixer in medium speed beat the mascarpone cheese with the heavy cream and the vanilla. Add the orange zest. Keep beating mixture for 1-2 min until everything is incorporated well, about 2 min.
- Spread the mascarpone mix evenly all over the tart crust.
- Add an even layer of the strawberry jam on top of the mascarpone.
- Arrange the berries in a pattern of your choice. Enjoy!
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only an estimate and can vary based on the products used.
- I like using vanilla beans but it can be very expensive. So I alternate between vanilla extract, vanilla powder, and bean. Vanilla powder gives a really concentrated flavor, so if you're substituting powder for beans, or extract in recipes, use ½ tsp of ground powder for 1 bean, or ½ teaspoon of ground powder for every teaspoon of extract.
