Berry Tart With Lemon Curd Mascarpone

Today, you almost had me at quinoa. Or rather a twist on quinoa salad of a favorite ethnic variety. A recipe I’ve been craving, with bright flavors, creating lighter lunchtime fare. But then…this happened: Berry Tart With Lemon Curd Mascarpone.

Ingredients:

For the tart crust

• 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
• ½ cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, very cold and diced into ¼ inch pieces
• 1 egg yolk
• 1-2 tablespoons cold water

For the mascarpone filling

• ¾ cup whipping cream
• 1 8 ounce container mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
• 1 heaping tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1 cup lemon curd, store bought, or I used this recipe
• 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 pint raspberries
• ¼ cup strawberry preserves
• Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Mix the all purpose flour, almond flour, kosher salt and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
