Strawberry Puff Pastry Tart

This is for a recipe I have in my Vol I Cookbook. Thought it would be a good one to list since it is just about Strawberry season. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 Egg

2 Tsp Water

1 Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, Thawed

1 Pint Strawberries, Sliced

1/4 Cup Heavy Cream

3/4 Cup Mascarpone Cheese

3 Tbsp Sugar

2 Tsp Orange Juice

1/2 Tsp Orange Zest

2 Tbsp Apricot Jam

1 Tbsp Water

1 Pint Vanilla Ice Cream

 

Directions:

Preheat oven 400. In small bowl, beat egg with water. On lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry, about 14x8 inches. Brush entire pastry with egg wash. With a fork, score base of tart. Place on baking sheet and refrigerate 20 minutes. Bake pastry 20 minutes and cool completely. In small bowl, beat cream to soft peaks

In another bowl, beat together mascarpone, sugar, orange juice and orange zest until smooth. Fold in whipped cream. Spread cream mixture over tart. Arrange berries over top. In small bowl, whisk jam and water until smooth and lightly glaze top of berries with jam. Slice into 8 portions and place scoop of ice cream on plate next to tart.
