Lemon Curd Mascarpone Tart

This totally delicious Lemon Curd Mascarpone Tart came about when I had a few egg yolks left over from a cake. It’s made with thick creamy Mascarpone and lemon Curd. This Lemon Curd is from a recipe I shared a while ago made in the Microwave. It really is a game changer in the Lemon Curd stakes. I love it and anytime I have leftover egg yolks or eggs I make it.  Here’s the recipe. You will need the recipe to make this Tart so just click through and print it off.

I made and chilled it overnight so it was nice and super thickened and then I folded whipped mascarpone through it. OMG. this is a totally mind blowing dessert all by itself.

Microwave Lemon Curd Cream in a bowl

I love making pastry but not everyone has the time or inclination so I tried to think of a way to make an irresistible Tart without making pastry (only for you). It’s made with a crushed biscuit base a bit like a cheesecake. I like to bake my crust in the oven just a bit to make it nice and crunchy although that’s optional.

Here’s the curd recipe again

You can make it with whole eggs too. Try this recipe here for the whole egg version

Use a very firm lemon curd for this recipe or it will be a bit runny. This tart can be made entirely in the refrigerator however I baked my biscuit crust for an extra crunchy toasted taste. If you don't want to bake the base add 2 extra Tablespoons of butter to the crumb base. Australian cup measurements have been used.

Servings 6 -8

Ingredients
  

  • 150 gm plain biscuits milk arrowroot or similar
  • 20 gm honey 1 Tablespoon
  • 80 gm butter unsalted
  • 300 gm lemon curd firm
  • 250 gm mascarpone
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar or to taste
  • 1 whole passionfruit

Instructions
 

  • small tart tin with a removable bottom. 20 cm or 8 inch.
  • If baking the base for crispness set the oven to 180 C / 350 F
  • Put the biscuits, honey and melted butter into a food processor and blitz till fine.
  • Push into the tart case forming a crust that is not too thick ( you will have half a cup of crumbs left over .You can spread it onto a tray and bake till golden and serve with fruit and icecream). Bake the crumb crust for 10-15 minutes or until it just starts to brown up a little. Refrigerate ( or freeze till cool and set)
  • Mix the mascarpone icing sugar and vanilla In a medium sized bowl until incorporated, no need to mixed too much.
  • Fold in the lemon curd till well mixed
  • Pour into the shell and refrigerate till firm or overnight.
  • This tart will remain just a little soft.
  • Mix the passionfruit with the 1 tablespoon icing sugar and serve with the tart

Notes

Make sure your base isn't too crumbly. if it is add a little bit more butter. 1 tablespoon at a time. You could also substitute coconut oil if you wanted

    Great use of the egg yolks. I am about to make lime curd with this month’s lime haul so will give this tart a go. Great idea. And I loved the Peppa Pig cake. No way I could tackle something like that so kudos to you.

    I love that Peppa Pig cake! Peppa is a bit stretchy herself so maybe it wasn’t the icing after all.

    I think using the yolks for lemon curd and a tart is quite a happy ending for those eggs.

    I’m all for leftovers and this tart doesn’t look like it has leftover origins at all. It looks very imperssive!

    Your Peppa Pig is gorgeous. I think you did a brilliant job considering the icing gave you so much grief. And that lemon curd looks wonderful. As does your tart! How yummy and I love the pretty plate you served a slice of tart on xx

    I’ve got eggs for Africa in my kitchen at the moment (the hens are working it hard), but none of my lemons are ripe yet. As soon as they ripen I’ll be making some of Celia’s great lemon curd.
    Love your Peppa cake – you clever thing!
