Strawberry Mascarpone Cream Pie
Description
The Strawberry Mascarpone Cream Pie combines a crisp, buttery graham cracker crust with a soft and creamy mascarpone filling. The crust is made by mixing graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter, then baked to firm support for the pie. Fresh strawberries are chopped into bite-sized pieces and sugared to draw out their juice. The filling is created by beating mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form, resulting in a smooth, rich cream with a mild tang. When assembled, the pie offers a balance of textures: the firm crust, the airy cream, and the juicy fruit topping. It’s best served chilled, and any leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within two days to maintain freshness and texture.
Ingredients
For graham cracker crust
- 1-1/2 cup (360 ml) graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 5 tbsp butter melted
For strawberries
- 2 lb (900 g) strawberry fresh
- 4 tbsp sugar
For mascarpone cream filling
- 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- For the graham cookie crust; mix graham cookie crumbs with brown sugar and melted butter. Press down gently into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake at 300˚F oven for 10 minutes and let it cool completely. Or chill for at least 3 hours.
- For the strawberries; cut up strawberries into bite size chunks and toss with sugar. Macerate for 15-20 minutes to extract moist.
- For the mascarpone cream filling; beat mascarpone cheese to loosen up, then add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat at high speed until soft peak forms.
- To assemble; spread mascarpone filling in a crust. Using a slotted spoon, put macerated strawberries on top of the filling discarding the syrup that is extracted from the strawberries. Serve the pie immediately or chill in the fridge. Keep the leftover pie in the fridge up to 2 days.
