Time 2h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons ice water
5 cups frozen mixed berries, thawed (about 30 ounces)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup mascarpone cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • To make the crust, combine the flour, sugar, lemon zest, and salt in a food processor and pulse to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until moist clumps form. Gather the dough into a ball then flatten into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Stir together the berries, lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch in a 10-inch diameter round baking dish. Roll out the crust to a 14-inch diameter circle. Place the crust over the berries in the baking dish. Fold the crust over itself until it fits just inside the baking dish. Cut a 2-inch slit in the center of the dough. Bake until the crust is golden and the berries are bubbly, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whip together the mascarpone, heavy cream, and honey. Cover and reserve in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • To serve, scoop out the crostada into serving dishes and top with the whipped mascarpone.

This recipe was a bit too difficult for me. I think it would be better suited for someone with more experience in baking.

This crostada is absolutely delicious! The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. I love that I can use whatever berries I have on hand, so it's a great way to use up leftover fruit.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The crust was a bit too dry for my taste and the filling was a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred a more tart filling.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less sugar next time.
