    Baked Raspberry Mascarpone Tart {gluten-free}

    Published Sep 3, 2018

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Creamy vanilla-kissed filling, bright summer berries, and a buttery shortbread crust made with a trio of gluten-free flours – this baked raspberry mascarpone tart is an easy win.

    I'm popping in briefly today to share this easy, gluten-free baked raspberry mascarpone tart that I whipped up the other night. A few of you saw it in my IG stories and asked for the recipe and I'm only too happy to share. It's late in the season for raspberries, but I found some incredibly flavorful ones from Coke Farm, which is kind of produce royalty, at our co-op. They and an extra container of luscious mascarpone from my friends at Vermont Creamery inspired this tart.

    On labor day weekend, we never do typical holiday things like barbecue, or get invited to other peoples' barbecues, or go camping. I spent most of my life working in the restaurant industry, so I got used to working when everyone else was off, and taking vacations and trips at odd times of the year. We've come to enjoy spending labor day weekend in the city, which empties out with the mass exodus to Burning Man. Come Tuesday, our block will be lined with art cars coated in a layer of playa. But for now, you can get into Gracias Madre with no wait, yoga classes aren't packed to the gills, it only takes 20 minutes to drive 1 mile in the city instead of 40. And you can even sometimes find parking in the mission.

    This year is no different. Our labor day festivities will include a walk in the botanical gardens, thai takeout with some lady friends, and season two of The Good Place.

    If I WERE going to an outdoor food party of sorts, here's what I'd want to eat:

    -Smoky Baba Ganoush – I recently retested and reshot this favorite silky eggplant tahini dip, which gets an umami kick from brick-hued smoked paprika

    -Avocado Tomatillo Salsa – for dipping veggies and chips, or dolloping on tacos or tamales

    -All the potato salad: Creamy Green Goddess Potato Salad, Two Bean Potato Salad made with pickled red onion and fresh shelling beans, and Roasted Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad with Chile and Lime

    -Green, Yellow, and Romano Bean Salad with Sweet Corn and Feta

    -Farmer's Market Cornbread with Sweet Corn, Cherry Tomatoes, and Sheep's Cheese {gluten-free}

    -Veggie burgers! Quinoa Beet Chickpea or Spiced Zucchini Chickpea Feta

    -Gluten-Free Stonefruit Galette with Honey and Cardamom – easier than pie!

    -Vegan Fig Tart with Chestnut Crust

    And then this raspberry mascarpone tart. The crust comes from my book Alternative Baker which is packed with over 100 gluten-free, whole grain, fruit-forward recipes. It tastes like full-flavored buttery shortbread thanks to almond and oat flours, vanilla, and just the right amount of salt. No chilling or rolling necessary; just press the crumbly dough into the pan, freeze it briefly, and bake until puffed and golden. (UPDATE: I've shared the recipe here along with step-by-step photos and a how-to video!)

    The filing – mascarpone flavored with sugar, lemon, and vanilla and bolstered by sweet rice flour and egg – comes together in a minute with a whisk and a bowl. Add some fresh raspberries on top and give it a quick bake. I'm guessing blackberries and/or blueberries, or any similar variety such as tayberries, logan berries, marion or boysenberries would work just as well, or any combination thereof.

    Crisp crust crumbles against creamy filling – like a lighter, softer version of cheesecake – all contrasted with bright, jammy raspberries. Serve it warm from the oven, at room temperature, or baked a day ahead and chilled. For a holiday or any day, it's a sure hit.

    Creamy vanilla-kissed filling, bright summer berries, and a buttery shortbread crust made with a trio of gluten-free flours – this baked raspberry mascarpone tart is an easy win. 
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Cook Time: 45 minutes
    Chilling time: 20 minutes
    Total: 1 hour 25 minutes
    Servings: 8 to 10 servings, 1 9-inch tart

    Ingredients

    Crust:

    • 1/2 cup (60 g) blanched almond flour (such as Bob’s Red Mill)
    • 1/2 cup (80 g) sweet white rice flour (such as Koda Farms Mochiko)
    • ½ cup (45 g) GF oat flour (such as Bob's Red Mill)
    • 2 tablespoons (12 g) tapioca flour
    • 1/4 cup (50 g) organic granulated cane sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon 1⁄8 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 6 tablespoons (85 g) cold, unsalted butter, diced into 1⁄2-inch cubes
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Filling:

    • ¼ cup (50 g) organic granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons (15 g) sweet white rice flour
    • Pinch fine sea salt
    • 1 large egg
    • A few scrapes of lemon zest (Meyer if you’ve got it)
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
    • 8 ounces (225 g) mascarpone
    • 10 ounces (285 g) fresh raspberries (or other berries such as blue, black, tay, marion, boysen, logan, or a combination; frozen berries would probably work too)

    Instructions

    Make the crust:

    • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF.
    • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the almond, sweet rice, and oat flours with the tapioca starch, sugar and salt. Scatter the butter pieces over the top and drizzle with the vanilla extract. Turn the mixer to medium-low and run until the dough comes together in moist clumps and the butter is worked through, 3–5 minutes.
    • Dump about half of the crumbs into a 9-inch loose bottom tart pan and press the dough evenly into the sides of the pan. Add the remaining crumbs and press them into the bottom, keeping the edges square. (It usually takes me about 10 minutes to make it look pretty.) Freeze until firm, 15–30 minutes.
    • Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until puffed and pale golden, 18-22 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and, while it’s still hot, press the sides and bottom firmly with the back of a spoon; this will help it hold together when cool. Keep warm.

    Make the filling:

    • In a large measuring pitcher or medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in the egg. Stir in the lemon zest, vanilla, and mascarpone until smooth, mashing the mascarpone to eradicate any lumps or working the mixture through a medium-mesh strainer if the lumps are stubborn.
    • Spread the filling into the bottom of the warm, parbaked crust and place the berries evenly over the top. Bake the tart at 350ºF about 25 minutes until the edges are puffed and the custard is set when you give it a shake. Let cool to room temperature or slightly warm. Release the edges of the pan and slide the tart onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve. Store refrigerated airtight for up to 3 or 4 days; the crust will soften a bit.

    Notes

    This gluten-free press-in tart crust recipe comes from my cookbook Alternative Baker.
    Be patient pressing it into the shell – it takes a good 10 or 15 minutes to make it look even and pretty – and don't forget to press the parbaked crust down with the back of a spoon to help it hold together when cool.
    If gluten isn't an issue for you or your guests, feel free to use the almond and wheat flour crust recipe here.
    Nutritional values are based on one of eight servings.

      Hi Alanna, This looks wonderful. I’ve enjoyed baking my way through your book and our farmers market this summer. Now, I need to be egg free as well as gluten free. Looking at this recipe, then looking in my newly purchased The Egg Free Cookbook which is not gluten free, I see I can sub gelatin egg.
      I made my favorite of your recipes, the tea cakes, using applesauce instead of egg and loved them. Flax egg was sadly a total trash can failure. I make these tea cakes with whatever I have on hand. Ginger and peach has been my favorite after your original chocolate pear with rosemary.
      Thank you so much for being the key help to my gluten free learning curve. I’m so pleased I’ll be able to sub out egg for many of the recipes. I appreciate your creations being less sweet and fruit heavy, and generally more healthy than most.

      Debbie

        Hi Debbie! Ooh, egg-free and GF can definitely be tricky. I tried a flax egg once in a cake recipe and it also ended up in the compost. I'm so glad to know that using applesauce instead of egg words better! I'm so glad you like the tea cake recipe - I tested it like a million times! Ginger pear sounds delicious. Please let me know if you try a gelatin egg in this tart!

      This tart looks amazing! I’m sure your recipes are a god-send for those suffering from gluten allergies, however I am not someone suffers from that. This may be sacrilegious to ask here.... but if I wanted to make this not gluten free, could I replace the alternative flours you have prescribed here with regular all-purpose?

      I have a question. I am making an old recipe for a caramel nut tart from a November 1998 Gourmet Magazine for one of my Thanksgiving desserts. I can no longer eat the crust as it is not at all gluten free. I am thinking of using one of your tart crusts from your cookbook, either the vanilla almond tart crust or the chocolate version. The Gourmet entire tart can be made up to 2 days ahead, which is why I loved it. Can I make that crust or this one, arranged in the tart pan, and frozen more than 15 minutes? I would like to get some of it done 1 or two nights before the holiday. Then I could take it out of the freezer on Thursday morning, par bake it, fill it, and finish baking it. What do you think? The goal is to get enough done in advance so that I am not a basket case on Thursday. Thank you so much! Your recipes are a dream!

      Hi Alanna! I want to make this again, but the cranberry chocolate pecan tart in your book. Guess what! Rice flour. It's got a 1/2 cup of sweet rice flour, which I can't eat. What might you think would work in this tart crust in place of the rice flour? Maybe more tapioca mixed with something else? I just don't know. Thank you for all your help! You generally have a great idea that will work for me!

        Hi! I wrote you back in my tart crust post, but I think either cassava flour or just increasing the almond, oat, and tapioca flours will work. Let me know what you try!

    New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed cake. It's moist, lofty, tender, and so easy to make.

This is a smol sheet cake (8x8) that you can whip up in under an hour with just one bowl and a whisk. Swipe to see how easy it is to make!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
