    Berry Tartlets with Lemon Mascarpone Cream

    February 5, 2016 by Kelly 6 Comments

    Berry Tartlets with Lemon Mascarpone Cream. When I have a guest that I would like to impress, these are the little tartlets I turn to. These Berry Tartlets with Lemon Mascarpone Cream never fail to impress. A light and buttery cookie dough shell holds a creamy, luscious Lemon Mascarpone Cream. Hidden underneath is a bright and sunny Lemon Curd. The crown jewel on top - a delicious, juicy berry. Light and refreshing, they're a delightful combination.

    Raspberry Tartlets with Lemon Mascarpone Cream

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • Sweet Pastry Crust
    • apricot jam
    • Lemon curd
    • ½ recipe Luscious Lemon Mascarpone Cream
    • fresh mixed berries

    Instructions

    To make the tartlet shells

    1. Follow the recipe for the Sweet Pastry Crust making the shells in small, tartlet size tins.
    2. I find it easiest to press another tartlet tin on top of the crust to hold its shape during freezing and baking. The crust dough would then be sandwiched between two tartlet tins. This replaces the need to line the tartlet shells with foil or parchment and then filling with pie weights.
    3. Freeze the filled tartlet shells until firm.
    4. Bake in a 375 degree oven until the edges turn golden brown.
    5. Let cool for a few minutes then remove tartlet shells from tins and place on a rack to cool.
    6. When tartlet shells are cool, heat apricot jam until it starts to bubble. Don't let it cook too long or it will become sticky and hard.
    7. Using a pastry brush, brush a thin layer of the apricot jam on the insides of the tartlet shells. This prevents them from getting soggy after the filling is put in.

    To assemble the tartlets

    1. Spoon about a teaspoon of Lemon Curd into the jam-painted tartlet shells.
    2. Pipe or spoon the Lemon Mascarpone Cream to fill the tartlets.
    3. Top with berries.

    Notes

    One batch of the Lemon Curd will provide enough for the bottom of the tart shells and the ½ batch Luscious Lemon Mascarpone Cream.

        Hi Susan. The tarts should freeze pretty well. Add the berries after thawing.

      Do I need to take the second tartlet tin off during baking or do I leave it on all through baking.

          Thank you. Another question. I am concerned about the baked tart shell coming out of the tart pan. Do I spray the tart pans? Or tap them gently to separate from pan? Thanks.

            Hi Sandy, I don't usually have trouble getting them out of the tart pan but you can spray them just in case. I do like to spray the tart pan that goes on the top. A gentle tap, holding the tart pan upside down, is usually all I need to remove the tart shells from the pans.
