Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in unsalted butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Slowly add cold water until a dough forms. Press into tart pan and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the tart pan from the refrigerator. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Beat mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until smooth. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until soft peaks form.
  4. Spread the Lemon Mascarpone Cream over the cooled crust evenly.
  5. Gently arrange mixed berries on top, creating an eye-pleasing design. Sprinkle mint leaves throughout for added elegance.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Slice into wedges and enjoy.
