  • Tart pan
  • Tart pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust or homemade if you prefer
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Start by rolling out your pie crust and fitting it into a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing during baking. Blind bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
