Nectarine and Mascarpone Tart

Aryn

This nectarine and mascarpone tart tastes delicious! The tart crust tastes like a traditional tart shell and a sugar cookie combined. The mascarpone is creamy, sweet, fluffy and delicious and the nectarine is tossed in lemon juice and sugar so it provides the perfect acid to cut through the mascarpone’s fat. It looks and sounds like a fancy dessert but it’s secretly super easy and quick to make!

If you have never had mascarpone cheese, it tastes like heavy cream with the texture of cream cheese. It isn’t tangy like cream cheese but if you don’t have mascarpone cheese on hand you can mix cream cheese and heavy whipping cream together to mimic the flavors. Most stores do sell mascarpone cheese by the other soft cheeses.
