Ingredients for a tart (diameter 24 cm)
For the base:
- 250g of 00 flour
- 125g of cold butter in pieces
- 100g of icing sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1 pinch of salt For the cream:
- 350ml of fresh whipping cream
- 250g of mascarpone
- 80g of icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon of natural vanilla extract For the decoration:
- 200g of fresh strawberries
- 80g of Crispo pink confetti (whole or roughly chopped)
- a few fresh mint leaves (optional)
Preparation Method Prepare the base of the tart In a large bowl, place the sifted flour, add the butter in pieces just removed from the refrigerator, the icing sugar and a pinch of salt. Work the ingredients quickly with your fingertips until you obtain a sandy mixture. Add the egg and knead as little as possible until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30-40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C in static mode. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, obtain a disk of about 5mm thickness and line a 24cm buttered and floured tart tin.
Prick the bottom with a fork, cover with baking paper and weigh some dried legumes or the special baking spheres on top. Bake the base in the oven for 18-20 minutes, remove the paper and weights and continue for another 5 minutes until the pastry is uniformly golden. Let it cool completely in the tin before turning out. Prepare the cream In a large bowl, work the mascarpone with a spatula together with the icing sugar and vanilla until you obtain a smooth cream, without lumps. Whip the very cold fresh cream with an electric whisk (about 5 minutes), then add it to the mascarpone mixture with movements from the bottom upwards so as not to deflate the cream.
Cover and leave in the fridge until ready to use (you can also prepare it a few hours in advance). Assemble the tart and decorate Gently unmold the now cold base, place it on a serving plate. Fill with the mascarpone cream, spreading it evenly and leaving it slightly "mountainous" for a soft effect. Cut the strawberries in half or into slices, dry them and arrange them on the cream in a harmonious way, creating waves or a central crown. Add the Crispo pink confetti: you can put them whole for a more scenic effect, or cut them roughly to enhance the crunchiness and contrast.
Their sweetness, bright color and dragée heart will conquer the sight and the palate! Complete with a few mint leaves for a touch of freshness (optional).
