Mascarpone Dessert With Raspberry Puree Food

RASPBERRY MASCARPONE TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a sugared work surface, roll out pastry to a 16 1/2-by-12 1/2-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a pizza wheel or a sharp knife, cut 1 1/4-inch strips from each side of dough. Brush a 1-inch border of egg wash around perimeter of dough and top with strips, overlapping corners and trimming ends to fit. Lightly press strips to adhere. Transfer to a parchment-lined unrimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Using a paring knife, score strips with a pattern of diagonal lines. Using a docking tool or the tines of a fork, prick holes all over center of dough, creating steam vents. Score bottom crust along interior edges of strips. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Invert a wire rack over tart shell and transfer to oven. Bake until puffy and beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove rack and continue baking until deeply golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
• In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together mascarpone, vanilla seeds, lemon zest, and 1/3 cup sugar on medium speed until combined and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread filling evenly into tart shell. Top with raspberries and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

MASCARPONE WITH RASPBERRY AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Layer the phyllo sheets on top of each other. Using the cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds and press them into the mini muffin tin. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Meanwhile, combine the mascarpone, pineapple, and raspberry yogurt in a small bowl and stir to combine. Spoon the mascarpone mixture into the phyllo cups. Using a vegetable peeler, shave some chocolate onto the top of the mascarpone mixture and serve.

MASCARPONE AND BERRY PARFAITS

Top with 2 rounded tablespoons mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons fruit puree. Repeat layering 2 more times. Top each parfait with some of remaining cheese, then 3 raspberries. Chill at least 1 hour or cover and chill overnight.
