Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/4 cup strawberry glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a tart pan. Place it in the pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbles.
- Bake the Crust: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- Add Strawberries: Arrange the halved strawberries on top of the filling. Drizzle with strawberry glaze if desired for extra sweetness and shine.
- Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least 30 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
