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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Taste the filling and adjust sweetness, adding a small amount of sugar if needed, or more lemon juice for extra tang.
Step 5
Cover the filling with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly before using.
Step 6
Spoon the filling into a pre-baked tart shell, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula.
Step 7
Optionally, top the tart with fresh berries, sliced fruit, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
Step 8
Serve chilled, and enjoy!
