This cream tart is bursting with flavor! The cookie layers are crisp on the outside, yet soft on the inside. The filling is a rich and creamy mascarpone whipped cream. Top it with your favorite fruits and you have a perfect mouth-watering dessert.
This dough and filling makes enough for one double-layer letter.
Ingredients:
Tart Dough:
2 egg yolks
4 tbsp very cold water
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
16 tbsp (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼” cubes
Cream Filling:
8 oz mascarpone (1 cup)
1 cup chilled heavy cream
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings:
Fruits
Cookies
Fresh or gumpaste flowers
Candies
Apricot jam (for optional glaze)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, stir together the egg yolks, water and vanilla; set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with butter pieces no larger than small peas. Add the egg mixture and mix with a fork just until the dough comes together. Mix with your hands, if needed.
If you prefer to use a stand mixer for the dough, stir together the flour, sugar and salt in the mixer bowl. Add the butter and beat on medium-low speed until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with butter pieces being no larger than small peas. Add egg mixture and beat until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper, and sprinkle the paper with flour. I first rolled my dough out to ¼” thick, but that was too thick, so I went a little thinner.
Use a template to cut out 2 letters or numbers with a sharp knife. Transfer the dough to a cookie sheet and bake for approximately 12 - 16 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling.
Beat mascarpone and heavy cream with sugar in a large bowl until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture holds a stiff peak.
Place the filling into a piping bag and pipe dollops of the cream beginning with the inner and outer edges of the cookie. Place the second cookie on top and repeat the process with the filling.
Add your favorite toppings! Brush the fruit with watered down apricot jam for shine.
*Keep refrigerated. Best eaten the day it's prepared. - Навчання та стиль
How big are the letters? it is beautiful. Thank you
Thank you! The cookie letters are approximately 7" x 9.5". I made an 'S' in a Word document as big as I could and printed it out on a regular sized 8.5 x 11" piece of paper. Hope this helps.
Thank you.
Thank you. 👍
Made this twice! So good!!
So glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know :)
Tq for the best recipe. This is what I'm looking for :)
What a cute and easy idea for Mothers Day! I can't wait to give it a try :*>
Nice😃
Made this cake for my sister's birthday and everybody loved it! I reduced the sugar as we love it less sweet but my mistake was making the letter about 11" and as a result, it was a lil too thin. I didnt have the proper utensils for pipping and the cream was unevenly piped.. This recipe is a keeper!
So glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know. :)
Made this today for my mums bday. Came out amazing and it taste so goooood!
So glad! I just made the filling for a cake and I forgot how good it is! Thanks for letting me know. :)
do you recommend chilling the dough at all? wondering if I can cut the letter, and bake it the day of the event
Ummm hi! Your videos are life 😍😍😱 Your recipe came out perfect!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that!
Deliciousness
Thank you 😋
@@SugarHighScore thank You 🙏 beautiful for the reply
Thank you for this video. My first grand will be 1 this May and I want to make this for her bday.
How exciting! Have fun with your cake!
Love it, I Will try,
how many days in advance can I bake the dought and how can I store the cookie. Sorry for my English
What size piping tip do you use?
Hi thanks so much for this recipe! Can i just ask, the tart dough doesn't need to be put in the fridge? After making the dough and cut the letters i can put it right away in the oven to bake?
ross Portacio i have the same question
I tried this at home and it WAS DELICIOUS! This recipe is amazing and the end result was beautiful. Thank you.
Aw, thank you! I wish I had a slice of yours right now! :P
Is it important to use mascarpone and can I not use only wipped cream to decorate it?
Its beautiful😍 what about the taste i m planing to make it for my daughter s birthday but i m wondering if it will taste good🤔? And how about cutting it? I guess it s not easy at all😓
Thanks! It tastes so good! Cutting it wasnt too hard. :)
It's soooo beautiful😍, i have a question.. Could i use that whipped cream for a cheesecake?
Thanks so much! It goes great with any dessert as a whipped topping. :)
Sugar High Score Thanks!!! you have a new subscriber.😊
I need to transport this over a 4 hour drive. Do you think it would keep its shape if I were to freeze it, and let it slowly thaw in a cooler during the drive?
Can I make the cream filling the day before and decorate the morning after?
You can!
👍
Thank You 🙏 always looking forward to new content
Hi, does it require refrigeration and if so would it affect the pastry? Thanks it looks great.
Yes, it needs refrigeration because of the mascarpone filling. It doesn't affect the pastry. :)
Sugar High Score thank you, that was quick! It would be refrigerated over night.
The cookie and filling will be ok overnight, but you should put the toppings on the day of.
That looks so beautiful!! I want to make the number 29, should I double the recipe?
can you tell me the font you used?
Beautiful! How much would a cake like this go for? $$
Kim Cstro i bought mine for £85 for my birthday.
Could I prepare all components of the recipe the day before and then assemble it day of? Or will the cookies and mascarpone whipped cream not be OK?
that will work. :)
Hi! How much servings have a 8'' letters/numbers? And, how much do you think is the price for this? Thank you!
Maybe 8ish servings? Not sure, we ate it already! :)
Hi looks amazing. If u refrigerate this cake will the biscuit base go soft? Wouldn’t the mascarpone mix do that? Thanks
Hi, thank you! At the end of the video you can see me cutting into it. That was actually after it had been sitting in the refrigerator overnight. It wasnt soft... yay! It does need to be prepared the day you plan to eat it because the next day the cut fruit wasnt as fresh.

Do you have this recipe in grams?
Is this recipe portioned per letter ?
Is this receipt good enough to make the button and top letter or you had to bake twice?
The recipe in the description box is enough for a top and bottom cookie. The cookie letters are approximately 7" x 9.5". I made the 'S' template in a Word document as big as I could and printed it out on a regular sized 8.5 x 11" piece of paper.
Sugar High Score thank you for your reply. Lol i didn't read the part that says the dougb is enough for button and top🙈
Were can I purchase stencils.? Thanks Elvia
If you can just draw the letter shape u want to use or number and just cut it out saves u money
How would you recommend adjusting for chocolate cookie and two numbers?
Hi Jess. My daughter and I tried making a chocolate version with this recipe and didnt care for it. I think I would try a completely different chocolate cookie recipe. If I find one that I like, I'll be sure to share it. :)
Hello I was wondering if it was okay for my letter to 8 inch?
to be 8 inch*
Doesn’t the filling get runny after a while?? Thank you
Nope, it doesn't get runny. It's a stable whipped cream... and it's so yummy!:)
Sugar High Score thank you so much for answering!! Btw what type of piping tip did you use??

Can u plz give recipe for eggless tart
My tart unfortunately was cracking ! Do you think I made it too thin ? Or possibly too much butter ? My letter is big also !!! I failed lol
I wish I could have helped you! My letter was smallish (around 7" x 9.5). I've never had it crack before. I do find that if I use my pastry cutter rather than my mixer for the dough it turns out nicer.
Sugar High Score lol thanks for the advice I think I made it too big ... I’ll try again this week and see how I go 😀
Thats an EGGcellent cake
Thank you! :)
