Directions
- First, we will prepare the shortcrust dough by first mixing the egg with the sugar and oil. There, we will add a little salt and minced lemon zest.
- Then, we will add the flour mixed with the baking powder and make the dough.
- Next, let the shortcrust pastry dough rest for 15-20 minutes in the fridge. Meanwhile, we will make the filling cream. By the way, you can open this type of dough directly or leave it in the refrigerator to store for later.
- Next step, we mix the mascarpone, sugar, and eggs with a wire beater in a glass bowl to make a homogeneous cream. After, add the chocolate to pieces.
- Once the cream is ready, we take a tart baking tin and line the bottom with parchment paper to make it easier by taking the tart out of the baking pan.
- Next, roll the dough on a surface sprinkled with flour. We will open the dough into a layer with the help of a roller.
- Also, place the shortcrust pastry layer in the baking pan and arrange the sides. After, cut the rest of the dough into strips to place on top of it.
- So, after arranging the dough in the tart baking tin, add the mascarpone cream and place the strips of the dough above it.
- Next, we will bake the tart at 180 degrees for 45-50 minutes. After that, take it out of the oven and let it cool.
- Finally, once we take it out of the baking pan, we transfer it to a tart plate and serve it cut into pieces.
Bon Appetit!
