Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 70 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and granulated sugar. Use a hand whisk or a hand mixer on low speed to mix until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
Add the heavy cream to the bowl and continue to whisk on medium speed until the mixture thickens slightly and holds soft peaks, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Fold in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice using a spatula. Gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the filling is light and silky.
Taste the filling and adjust sweetness, adding a small amount of sugar if needed, or more lemon juice for extra tang.
Cover the filling with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly before using.
Spoon the filling into a pre-baked tart shell, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula.
Optionally, top the tart with fresh berries, sliced fruit, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
Serve chilled, and enjoy!
