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 festive #holidayappetizers is soooooo easy to make and so cute too! Take your Holiday party to the next level with this simple and fun brie recipe!
•store bought frozen roll dough (thaw and let rise for 3 hours)
•8 oz of brie
•1/2 stick of melted butter
•1 tsp minced garlic
•1 tbsp Italian seasoning
•fresh rosemary sprigs
•fresh cranberries
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. On a piece to parchment paper and a cookie sheet, set your brie in the middle. Place the roll dough balls around your brie. Slather the rolls and Brie in the melted butter (mixed with the minced garlic). Sprinkle seasoning on top and bake for approx. 20 min. Add rose mark and cranberries as garnish once out to the oven. This is such a crowd pleaser and quick to make. We’ve also used fresh dough made by my hubby (he’s the bread baker 🤣) and that works amazing too! Let me know how you like it! Enjoy! #recipereel #holidayrecipes
You guys….it actually rained here today! And it’s cold! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. It doesn’t exasperate my #potssyndrome 🙌🏻 Today, all 4 kids were home from school and we all played Fortnite together with our neighbors. I love days like today. I didn’t run errands, I didn’t clean anything. It’s been marvelous! Tomorrow will be back to business with family photo session editing, brand jobs and getting my ballet school ready for next months shows. But today, today, I did nothing. 🤣 #mondaymood
SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This one’s a MUST TRY! I love pumpkin, I love puff pastry and I love me some cheese!
•one package store bought puff pastry
•mini brie
•pumpkin butter
•egg for egg wash
•cooking twine
•cinnamon sticks
Preheat oven to 375. These will bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cut #puffpastry into 10 equal squares, scoop a teaspoon of pumpkin butter on the puff pastry and add a mini brie on top. Close up the dough and use cooking twine to secure it. I tie it around 3-4 times. Brush egg wash over them and bake them for 20-25 min. Use cinnamon sticks for a stem! I have also used cream cheese and goat cheese instead of the Brie! Enjoy! #holidayappetizers #recipereel
#ad #WalmartPartner I’m getting my home ready this Fall for all my overnight Thanksgiving guests with @walmart 🙌🏻 Through this holiday season, I want to make my guests feel at home and as comfy as possible.

Plus, I use @snuggle_bear Blue Sparkle Fabric Softener on my linens to give it that added touch! It’s formulated for longer lasting freshness* #Walmart is my Holiday go-to this season! #IYWYK

SO happy it’s not 100 degrees this week and we’re actually having cooler mornings. It’s Finally Fall! #sweaterweather
Added #Maui to the wall…… can’t wait to add to the collection next trip 🙌🏻🤣
Had to share another landscape photo from our #maui trip. But I mean…..can you blame me?!? Love, love, LOVED our time spent there. #mauihawaii
SWIPE LEFT FOR A LAUGH I thought this deserved a permanent spot on my feed as proof I got @theeneil to do a couples massage while in #Maui complete with an outdoor soaking tub, shower and outdoor Hale for our massage. We went straight from Hawaii to Disneyland and when we got home from our 2 days at Disney and felt like we were 80, Neil asked if we could go get another couples massage. 🤣
Counting down until our next #Hawaii vacation. Last year was our first time visiting (we took the family to Oahu) and we loved it so much, @theeneil and I took a trip by ourselves to #Maui 🌊 Both islands have a completely different vibe but one thing’s for sure, they are both so beautiful. I took this photo of #blacksandbeach at Waiʻānapanapa State Park. We rented a bronco and drove the entire island. It was such a wonderful trip and we’re already trying to make plans for another vacay (still debating on whether to bring the kids or not 🤣).
We flew home last night, spent the night in our own bed and now we are currently driving to Disney with the kids. I’m going to need another vacation after this vacation. 🙈 Really loved our time in #Maui Already planning our next trip… 🤣
@theeneil says he took a @graymalin photo 🤣… how’d he do Gray? So many pretty things to take pictures of here…. #maui
#ad On my daily Target run, I grabbed some of my favorite @Ghirardelli Mint Cookie Milk Chocolate Squares! 🙌🏻 These rich milk chocolate squares are filled with mint and crunchy chocolate cookie bits. And did I mention they’re available all year long, not just during Holiday season. We LOVE all things #Ghirardelli and these are no exception. They make the best treat after a day of mom life! So pick up a bag or two @target
Love when my closet is organized. Does anyone else like to clean their house before leaving for a trip? I hate coming home to a mess, so I clean beforehand! #closetorganization #blueandwhiteforever
Sharing more of my Favorite @julievos jewelry 🙌🏻 The majority of these pieces are from the “Sanibel” collection! I love timeless, classic gold jewelry and @julievos is no exception! They pair well with just about anything and polish off a white button down perfectly! Do yourself a favor and snag a few baubles of your own. #julievos
Whatever your style may be, I think it’s really important to make your primary bedroom a sanctuary. The blue hues really cheer me up each day. I think I read somewhere once that blue is a calming and serene color. Well, that color has thrown up all over my house and I LOVE IT. 🤣 #blueandwhiteforever #blueandwhitedecor
Finally! It feels like Fall! Love this lightweight field jacket paired with my favorite Levi’s. Jacket and shoes are on sale and the price is 👌🏻
