When you have beautifully ripe berries and you add something crunchy and some rich cream, you have magic. I know mascarpone is technically a cheese, but the logic is the same. I would dive into this tart.
I have not tried this recipe, but plan to now. Frank Stitt’s Southern Table is one of my favorite cookbooks, too, and my cookbook collection isn’t lacking. Other faves: his recipes for poisson en papillote, spicy remoulade and the Highlands grits (oh lord, the grits — the sauce tastes exactly like the restaurant’s version). Thanks for sharing this!
This is my kind of dessert, and I’m not a big dessert person (don’t like cake at all), but the thought of those sweet tart strawberries, the buttery crust and the mascarpone truly makes my mouth water. Will definitely put this on my list of desserts for summer entertaining.
Thank you! I’ve been racking my brain trying to come up with something easy to make with mascarpone and fruit. For me, strawberries are disappearing fast, but I have figs and fig jam.
Perfect timing! I had just got my hands on about 10 kilos of strawberries and then realised I only had about 3 days to use them all when I saw this “life-saver” recipe. I loved the crisp crust of this tart!
I made this last week and it was so, so wonderful! It’s pretty rich with the mascarpone, but that means that one tiny slice is the perfect dessert after a summertime meal.

“How could a strawberry mascarpone tart be bad?” I mean, seriously. The photos have me drooling.

If I were your guest, I would eat your less vibrant tart. I bet it would still be delicious!
