Parchment paper
- 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
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.
Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the mascarpone layer in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle the finely chopped basil over the strawberries for a pop of color and fragrance. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
This recipe not only creates a stunning and flavorful tart but also allows you to explore the delightful balance of sweet and herbal flavors, elevating your dessert experience.
