Sweet and juicy strawberries top a creamy mascarpone filling with a buttery crust that you will want to make throughout spring – and summer! I started with a recipe from Delish, however, I changed out the cream cheese for mascarpone (of course) and ended up with this amazing dessert!

I tried out our new, beautiful Tart Pan With Lid, AND our new Cup Slicer:

Fluted Tart Pan With Removable Bottom

This 9″ (23-cm) tart pan is exactly what you need for sweet or savory tarts and quiches. The fluted edge gives your finished baked goods a professional look, and the removable bottom lets you easily remove treats without damaging the sides for easy serving.

About Baking Pans With Lids

Made with carbon steel with Pampered Chef’s exclusive high-quality nonstick coating, the pan ensures an even bake, easy release, and effortless cleanup. The blue exterior gives the pan a vintage look that’s gorgeous in any kitchen. The snap-on lid lets you easily transport and store your baked goods.

Cup Slicer:

Snacking Made Simple

Slice fresh fruits and veggies fast with the Cup Slicer. Just put your food on a cutting board and place the Cup Slicer, which features five stainless steel serrated blades, above the food. Then, push it down until all your food is sliced. Pour your freshly sliced food into your cereal, a fry pan, or a bowl. And when you’re done using it, run it through the dishwasher and place the blade cover on it for safe storage.

With the Cup Slicer, you can slice up strawberries, bananas, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, or hard-boiled eggs for a quick snack. It’s a great tool for parents!

Use it to make homemade salads, stir-fries, fruit salads, and healthy cereal add-ins without all the time-consuming prep work.

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 10 tbsp. butter, melted 

For the filling

  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F/175⁰C.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add melted butter and stir until dough forms.

Press mixture into a tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing until dough is smooth. Prick all over with a fork and bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely.

Tomato Basil Whipped Mozzarella Tart – Pampered Chef (Video)

Another tasty recipe from Pampered Chef, this is one I received for spring and it is scrumptious. Juicy tomatoes, creamy ricotta and mozzarella mixed with fresh basil?  All included over a baked refrigerated pizza crust.  I needed a fast meal, and this came together quickly.  I hope that you will enjoy it, let’s jump right in! 

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil, divided
  • 1 pkg (13.8 oz./391 g) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) Italian seasoning, divided
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) garlic powder
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) salt
  • ½ lemon, juiced (1–2 tbsp/15–30 mL)
  • Whipped Basil Mozzarella
  • 4 oz. (125 g) fresh mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (125 mL) ricotta
  • 6 basil leaves, torn, plus additional for topping
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt

Preheat the oven to 425 °F.

Coat the bottom of a 12″ (30-cm) Cast Iron Skillet with 1 tbsp of oil. Spread the pizza dough into the bottom of the pan, pressing it into the edge. Fold over extra dough to create a lip. Use a fork to pierce the bottom and edges of the crust; brush with 1 tbsp  of oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp  of Italian seasoning.

Toss the tomatoes with garlic powder and the remaining oil and Italian seasoning. Place in a single layer on a sheet pan.

Place the skillet with the crust on the bottom rack and sheet pan with the tomatoes on the top. Bake until the crust has browned and the tomatoes have softened, 17–20 minutes. If the crust bubbles, press it down with a spatula, carefully, in case steam is released.

To make the whipped basil mozzarella, add all the ingredients to a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Let the crust cool for about 5 minutes, then spread the whipped basil mozzarella over the inside of the crust. Top with the tomatoes.

When ready to serve, drizzle with lemon juice, top with additional basil, if you’d like, and cut into wedges.

That’s it!  Such a tasty dinner that’s easy to put together. Please let me know if you give this a try!
