Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour with 8 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 3-4 tbsp cold water one tablespoon at a time until dough just comes together.
2. Step 2: Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead into a ball. Flatten into a 7-inch disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Step 3: Roll out chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, pressing dough evenly on bottom and sides. Prick base with fork. Line with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake 5 minutes more until lightly golden; cool.
4. Step 4: In a medium bowl, whisk 8 oz mascarpone cheese with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly into cooled tart shell.
5. Step 5: In a separate bowl, toss 2 cups mixed berries with 2 tbsp honey. Spread berries over the mascarpone layer.
6. Step 6: Return tart to oven and roast at 375°F for 12 minutes until berries are softened and juicy but still hold their shape. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
