✨ Ingredients

🥧 Tart Crust

1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 egg yolk
1–2 tbsp cold water, as needed

🍓 Mascarpone Filling

8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, softened
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp rosewater (adjust to taste)

🌸 Topping

1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
1 tbsp strawberry or rose petal jam (optional, for glaze)

📝 Instructions

Make the Crust: In a bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add butter and rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Form & Chill: Add egg yolk and just enough cold water to bring the dough together. Form into a disc, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
Shape & Prebake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out dough and press into mini tart pans. Prick the base and chill again for 10 minutes.
Bake: Line with parchment and weights; bake for 12 minutes. Remove weights and bake 5–8 more minutes until golden. Cool completely.
Prepare Filling: Beat mascarpone, cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and rosewater until smooth and fluffy.
Fill Tarts: Spoon filling into cooled tart shells and smooth the tops.
Add Fruit: Arrange sliced strawberries in delicate spirals or fans.
Glaze & Garnish: Warm the jam slightly and brush over the fruit for a glossy finish. Garnish with petals or mint, if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
