Ingredients

The Base

  • 2 cups cookie crumbs 150 g (you can use graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or a similar type of cookie.)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted (add more if the mixture seems too dry.)

Raspberry Coulis:

  • 1 package gelatin powder
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon cold water
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch 16 g
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 ⅓ cup fresh raspberries

The Filling

  • 6 oz mascarpone cheese
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup whipping cream chilled

Instructions

Crust:

  • In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter until fully incorporated.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform tart pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
  • Place the pan in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the rest of the recipe.

Raspberry Coulis:

  • In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder, water and lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the bloomed gelatin, raspberries, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water, and sugar. Stir frequently and gently mash the raspberries to release their juices. Cook until the mixture thickens, resembling raspberry jam.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Allow it to cool to room temperature. (Yields about 3/4 cup of coulis.)

Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and chilled whipping cream.
  • Use a stand mixer or handheld mixer to whisk the mixture until light, fluffy, and stiff peaks form.
  • Gradually fold in the cooled raspberry coulis. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the filling’s airy texture.

Assemble the Tart

  • Pour the mascarpone filling into the prepared crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or until fully set.
  • Garnish and Serve. Garnish the tart with fresh raspberries, edible flowers, or other fresh fruit for a beautiful finishing touch. Slice and enjoy your creamy raspberry tart!
