Ingredients for Your Tart

The full recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions is at the bottom of this post. You can save a tree and the recipe to your personal and private recipe box here on Call Me PMc. This way, you’ll never misplace it.

• Pretzels, crushed fine
• Butter, melted. You can you salted or unsalted.
• 2 Tablespoon sugar
• Mascarpone cheese
• Heavy whipping cream
• Lemon, zested
• Powdered sugar
• Cherries, pitted.

To speed up the prep time, I baked my crust for 10 minutes. However, you don’t have to bake it. You can mix the crust ingredients together and press them into the pan. Pop the pan into the refrigerator to chill and set. When firm, it’s ready to fill.

You’ll love the simplicity of this mascarpone filling. It has only four ingredients, and it turns out luscious and decadent.

First, you whip the heavy cream. Then, you mix the mascarpone, zest, and powdered sugar together. Finally, fold the fluffy whipped cream into the mixture and it’s ready to pour onto your crust.

I topped the mascarpone with fresh cherries, but you can also make a sauce with them. Substitute cherries for the blueberries in my Blueberry Sauce recipe to make a sauce.

Mascarpone Cherry Tart

• Here’s a little secret, you could use the cream mixture as a fruit dip!
• You can substitute any fruit. This makes it great for any season. For fall, I like to cook apple slices with butter and cinnamon and spoon them over the top. For winter, cranberries make a beautiful topping. Of course, you can’t go wrong in the summer with peaches or blueberries.
• Instead of the pretzel crust, you can make a graham cracker crust or shortbread crust.
