April’s Gourmet cover – was a Strawberry Mascarpone Tart. It looked great – unfortunately my wife is allergic to strawberrries. Instead I went with a Kiwi & Raspberry combination.
This was a fun dessert – and it wasn’t very difficult. The pastry looked like fun – but I’m religious about keeping things simple – so I went with a store-bought pasty. The dessert looked fantastic. Unfortunately it didn’t quite make it into my ‘great’ category and was only borderline good. I think I could have used a little more sugar, and a little more lemon to really bring out the taste.
The pastry was also a little too hard… ( ok perhaps the keep it simple principle failed me here). My wife’s comment was that it would be better with a graham cracker crust instead of a pastry – although I think a flaky shortbread would work as well. I’d file this under “try again but modify”.
