DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Make crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add melted butter and extracts and stir until dough forms.
  4. Press mixture into 4" Fluted Tartlet Mold for a single serving or the 11" Quiche Pan for a larger tart. Make sure you use a tart pan with a removable bottom. Press dough all the way up the sides and until dough is smooth.
  5. Prick all over with a fork and bake until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  6. Make filling: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. In a large bowl, beat mascarpone and cream cheese until smooth.
  8. Add powdered sugar, orange juice, and extracts and beat until no lumps remain.
  9. Fold in the beaten heavy cream.
  10. Spread filling over cooled crust and arrange fresh fruit on top.
  11. Make preserves syrup: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat together preserves and water until warmed, about 30 seconds. This is basically a simple syrup you'll be placing on top to seal your fruit. Once the preserves syrup has slightly cooled, brush the syrup on the tart and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.
