Fresh Peach Tart with Mascarpone

[heart_this] · Sep 17, 2007 · 7 Comments

Fresh Peach Tart with Mascarpone

There was one more recipe with peaches that I wanted to try. Luckily the farmers market was still full of peaches. I wanted to make the “Fresh Peach Tart with Mascarpone” from Taste Italia magazine. I just discovered mascarpone cream recently. It is a bit expensive but it has a really nice texture. I had some troubles. I guess I did not roll the crust out thin enough as it ended up being too thick. I also realized too late that I was out of apricot jam for the glaze. Other than that, the tart turned out pretty good. The orange flavour of the cream complemented the peaches nicely. I imagine that the apricot jam would have been nice as well.
