Valentine’s Day Dessert Recipe: Raspberry Tart
Cooking a meal at home for your lovie or need a dessert for Valentine’s Day? Not only is this easy to make, it’s pretty and delicious too! Frequently, my four year old requests to watch Martha Bakes on PBS (which I think is adorable). We saw a recipe for a raspberry tart made last year and immediately made it the next day. My husband was impressed and the kids enjoyed it. It’s definitely a statement of a dessert and super easy to make. Read on below for my take on Martha’s recipe for a raspberry tart!
Raspberries are definitely one of my favorite fruits. I eat them by the handful, make mojitos, and bake them in berry pies. What is not to love about raspberries? If you don’t fancy raspberries, you can easily use ANY fruit with this recipe. Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I thought the red color would work perfect for the special day.
Raspberry Tart
Ingredients you need:
- 2 sheets puff pastry ( I purchase the two pack of Pepperidge Farms puff pastry sheets in the frozen pie crust section and follow directions on letting it thaw before use)
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 pints of fresh raspberries
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. On a piece of parchment paper, spread some flour and sugar around and lay the puff pastry on top.
- Once thawed, roll the puff pastry out to make a larger rectangle.
- Cut 1 1/4 inch stripes off the second piece of pastry with a pizza wheel or knife.
- Using your egg wash, brush some along the edges of the larger rectangle placing the cut strips on top. I actually used the back of an old plastic baby spoon since my brush was nowhere to be found. Kids!
- Press down to make them stick and then put in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Take it out of the freezer and using a knife, cut along the edges of the puff pastry diagonally.
- Use a fork to poke some holes in the center
- Place in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown
- In a bowl, mix together and beat the mascarpone cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- add in the heavy whipping cream and beat until it’s a creamy stiff consistency (a little thicker than whipped cream).
- Spread the mixture on top of the COOL pastry puff. I stuck my crust in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes before application.
- Top with fresh raspberries and stick in the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes before serving. And voila!
Tonight, I made this raspberry tart while also going back and forth making dinner between steps. It really is an easy recipe and tasty too! You just can’t go wrong!
Funny story…..while I made the tart today, I left the room to grab something out of the refrigerator in our garage and came back to a row of raspberries missing off the tart! My sneaky four year old snatched a few and ran. Luckily, I had more to add on!
Well I feel accomplished today! Took four CRAZY kids to Target, Safeway AND Costco, made a shredded chicken taco casserole and this fabulous raspberry tart! Now, I am off to clean up the kitchen and possibly drink a glass of wine. I’d say I earned it today.
Wink Wink.
I would love to know if you try out this recipe or any others I share on CCG. It’s always fun to hear from followers and their experience with my recipes!

SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This is an insanely easy way to make Raspberry Lemon Tarts with minimal steps and ingredients! As much as I love making lemon curd from scratch, sometimes, it’s just nice to cut some corners!
•6-7 oz of Lemon Curd (I used @mackays) you will have left over. I showed the second half of my tarts being made.
•2 packs of puff pastry
•8 oz of whipped cream (I made my own with heavy whipping cream and a little vanilla extract and sugar)
•20 raspberries
Preheat the oven to 400°. Using a cookie cutter or top of a cup (approx 2 inches), cut circles out of the puff pastry. Place the circles of puff pastry into each mini muffin pan cup. Don’t forget to spray the mini muffin pan with nonstick spray like avocado oil! Place on the oven for 10-12 minutes. In a bowl, add the lemon curd and whipped cream and mix well. Stick in the refrigerator until the puff pastry is baked and cooled down. Add the lemon mixture to the puff pastry cups (tip: take a spoon after the puff pastry comes out of the oven and push the centers in). Add raspberry to the top and a little powdered sugar and there ya have it! Super easy, mini bite size desserts that are perfect for that Mothers Day brunch coming up! #puffpastry #minidesserts #easyrecipes
It’s that time of year where I can wear white pants again 🙌🏻🤣 Yay for Spring….
Always sad leaving our favorite camping spot…we’ve been bringing the kids here 2-3 times a year for the last 5 years and it never gets old. Sure, we could bring them to SoCal, where it’s warmer and packed with a crap ton of people. However, we much prefer the cooler weather (helps with my POTS), rocky cliffs, less people and you travel through the redwood forest (which looks like a storybook). We love it up here and fantasize about moving somewhere like this once Nicky graduates. See you in June Westport….
In my happy place for a long weekend….Comment COAST and I’ll send the link for this cute sweater (comes in East Coast too)!

I just binge watched Renovation Aloha and now I NEED another trip to Hawaii. It doesn’t look like it’s in the cards for us this year with Emma going to Boston for singing (we are tagging along for the last week). Buuuutttt, if we were to go……Which is your favorite and why? Big Island or Kauai? We’ve already been to Oahu and Maui and I love each of them for different reasons. PS, I painted all my doors in the house blue on a whim and I think I love them 💙
