Mango+berry tart for summer
Using on of my favorite pastry chef Byron Konold’s tart recipe. This mascarpone base is so light + delish. Added a passionfruit purée to the mix and a squeeze of Meyer lemon on top right before serving. Sorry for the anxious crowd waiting as we swirled these mangoes and layered the berries 🤷🏼♀️🙃😆😅🍓🥭🍋🌸

Shortbread Tart Crust
1 Stick butter cut into cubes – keep cold
1 cup flour- sifted
1/3 cup powdered sugar - sifted
Pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease tart pan. In a food processor, blend all ingredients until it looks like coarse sand. Remove and form a ball. Put in fridge for 10 minutes to firm up the butter in to dough. Press dough into tart pan quickly and evenly so the butter doesn’t start to melt. Trim edges and dock the base of the tart with the tines of a fork. Line tart shell with parchment, then add pie weights and cook in oven for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely, then fill with your favorite tart ingredients.
