mixed berry tart with mascarpone cream

1 cup mascarpone cheese (about 8 ounces)
1/3 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 pre-baked 9" pie shell
1 1/2 cups small strawberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blueberries
1 cup blackberries
2 tablespoons sweet orange marmalade
2 tablespoons dark berry liqueur such as blueberry, blackberry, or cassis

  1. In a bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer beat together mascarpone, cream, and sugar until mixture holds stiff peaks. Spoon mixture into pie shell, spreading evenly.

  2. Quarter strawberries and in a large bowl combine with remaining berries. In a small saucepan simmer marmalade and liqueur, stirring, until reduced to about 3 tablespoons and pour over berries. With a rubber spatula gently stir berries to coat evenly.

  3. Just before serving, mound the berries decoratively on top of the mascarpone cream. Tart may be assembled 2 hours ahead and chilled. Bring tart to room temperature before serving.

Serves 6 - 8.

This tart is quick, easy, and one of the most impressive and delicious desserts that I've ever made.

Make sure to add the berry mixture to the pie at the last minute. If you do it too far in advance, the berry juice can leak and make the crust soggy.
