Recipes
For The Crust: In a food processor, process shortbread until crumbly or resembles fine sand. Combine the crumbs and melted butter. Spread the mixture on the bottom and sides of six 3 inch tart pans or one 9 inch pan with removable bottom. Press down evenly. Refrigerate for at least one hour until firm.
For The Filling: With an electric mixer combine the Mascarpone cheese, cream, confectioner’s sugar, and Amaretto liquor. Beat on medium speed until firm peaks form for about 2 minutes. Using an icing spatula, spread the mixture over the crust.
To Assemble The Fruit Tart: Carefully arrange the sliced strawberries or assorted berries on top of the mixture.
Cover and refrigerate until cold for up to one day.
Unmold the tart. Serve cold, as-is, or brush the top with a fruit glaze before serving.
