Ingredients
For the Tart Shell:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 stick (4 oz.) unsalted butter, slightly softened
For the Filling:
1 cup mascarpone cheese (about 8 oz.)
1/3 cup chilled heavy cream
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh blackberries
2 tablespoons apricot jam
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until a dough forms.
Roll dough into a 12-inch round and press into a 10-inch tart pan. Prick with a fork.
Bake 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool completely.
Beat mascarpone, cream, and sugar until smooth. Spread into crust.
Top with berries.
Warm jam and Grand Marnier, if using, and brush over berries.
Chill or serve immediately.
Notes
Chill the crust before baking for better shape. Use fresh berries for best results. Skip the liqueur for a non-alcoholic version. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
