Today, it is a recipe for Strawberry Tart

with Mascarpone, I used the same dough 

to prepare small tarts for strawberries. 

I invite you to watch the video at the end of the article

  Strawberry tarts are delicious, they are

ideal for dinners, teas for the afternoon

and for picnics.  

These tarts are easy to make, every ingredients 

can be prepared beforehand , but for the finish, 

It is better to make it one hour before serving the tart.  

 If strawberries are not in season, you can use

frozen strawberries, although it is better 

 to use fresh ingredients.

It is very important to let the dough rest

in the freezer, it is easier to work with.

When baking the  tart the first time, it is necessary to cover it

with a parchment paper and some chickpeas or dry beans.

As you can see in the video, with the same dough, you can

make tarts of different shape.

Many of you have asked me what is mascarpone cheese, here it is,

I have made a picture to give you an idea how it looks like. 

 You can replace the Mascarpone by

a light cheese of your choice,

such Cream Cheese.

The first time I have Tiramisu, it was

in Germany in an Italian restaurant. 

 Usually, I am not a great fan of cakes but Tiramisu

makes an exception, it has a great coffee flavour,

 it leaves the mouth  dancing for joy. 

  As you see in the pictures, I prepared a big

dish and small individual portions, just to show you that

you have many choices (as I do in most of my recipes).

It is a very simple recipe which you can prepare

at home by yourself without going to the restaurant

to taste this great famous Italian cake.

Once prepared,  keep tiramisu in the refrigerator

as much as you can before cutting it.This helps

to keep it firm which is important especially during cutting. 

Many recipes for Tiramisu asks for mascarpone

cheese. It is not really necessary, you

can replace it by a cream cheese just like I did,

especially when mascarpone cheese is very

expensive (here in the USA that is the case).

 I do not really appreciate it,

I find that mascarpone cheese has

no flavor as compared to the cream cheese. 

 Try my version

and give me your opinion.
