I've been looking for a light dessert this summer that wouldn't be heavy after a hot day in the sun. But something that would also satisfy my sweet tooth and lifelong love affair with chocolate.
So, a few days ago, I came up with an idea for this fabulous combination of flavors and knew I had to try it ASAP. Using all the berries I could find, combined with a fluffy whipped cream-mascarpone combo and a lightly chocolatey crust...I can't wait to taste this!
π§Ύ Ingredients
Crust
- All purpose flour
- Cocoa powder
- Powdered sugar
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
- Ice water
- Vegetable shortening for greasing pan
Pie filling
- Mascarpone cheese
- Heavy cream
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Your favorite berries
See the recipe card below for full list of ingredients and their measurements.
π₯ Making the crust
Preheat oven to 400Β°F.
Using a food processor, mix together dry ingredients.
Then, add cubed butter and pulse just until mixed in to the dry ingredients.
Lastly, add a tablespoon of ice water and pulse; repeat adding ice water this way until dough sticks together.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface and press into pie pan. Cover with a sheet of parchment and add pie weights (ceramic, dry beans, rice, etc).
β²οΈ Blind baking the crust
Blind bake crust for 30 minutes (for more info on blind baking, check out my recipe for fresh fruit tart).
Remove and let cool on the counter.
π₯£ Making the pie filling
While the crust is cooling, chop the berries into large chunks.
Next, using a stand mixer with whisk attachment or handheld electric mixer, whisk together all filling ingredients (except the berries) until you get firm peaks.
Fill the pie crust halfway with half of the whipped filling, then top with berries.
Finally, add the rest of the whipped filling on top, and top with berries.
Serve immediately or store in fridge up to 2 days. Enjoy!
