Mascarpone Tartlets with Strawberries and a Touch of Currant Jelly

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're building elegant tartlets from scratch with a buttery almond pastry, a cloud-like mascarpone cream, and fresh strawberries topped with jewel-like currant jelly. The main time commitment is chilling the dough for at least an hour and letting the pastry bake, but the actual hands-on work is quick and straightforward.

  1. 1/5

    Make the pastry

    Quickly combine all the pastry ingredients – ideally in a food processor, so the dough doesn't soften from the warmth of your hands.

  2. 2/5

    Chill in the fridge

    Shape the dough into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour.

  3. 3/5

    Cut out rounds, fill the tins and bake

    Once the dough has rested, take it out and cut it into rounds. Press these into tartlet tins or muffin cups. Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C until lightly golden – about 20 minutes. Leave to cool.

About this recipe

This recipe was inspired by the wonderful pastry chef Claire Damon of Des Gâteaux et du Pain. It brings together beautifully crisp pastry with a light, creamy filling and fragrant strawberries. The finishing touch is little cubes of jelly made from red currant juice.
