Oh yes, you done heard right. Mix it all together, and whatdya have? A fat slice of chilled Mascarpone Cream with a Cookies and Cream crust, studded with lots of fat and gorgeous berries (and pssst, go crazy with the Ganache drizzle)! 
- 25 crushed Oreo Cookies
- ½ stick melted Butter
- 8 oz room temperature Mascarpone Cheese
- 1 ts Vanilla Extract
- ¼ c Agave
- 8 oz Organic Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3 tb Powdered Sugar
- 2 ts Almond Extract (or Vanilla)
- Lemon Zest
- Berries
- Optional: Melted Chocolate or Ganache
- Combine your cookie crumbs with your butter and press down into your pie/tart pan.
- Spoon your softened, room temperature cheese into a bowl and beat it with your vanilla and agave. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip up your cream, sugar, extract, and lemon until it reaches stiff peaks. Using a whisk attachment and building up your speed helps. Additionally, whipping it up when it’s cold is easier.
- Fold in your whipped cream to your cheese mixture. Dollop this mixture into your prepared crust.
- Dot with lots of fresh berries on top and drizzle with chocolate. Chill for at least 4-6 hours before serving.
I envision that this might be a fabulous addition to a mid-week meal…something bright and summery to look forward to perk you right up on, let’s say, a Wednesday. Wednesdays are funny because you’re so close to the weekend, you can almost taste it but yet, you can’t celebrate it just yet *face palm* You quickly realize you’ve got two more freaking days left, lol.
Make this tonight, pop it into the fridge and your belly may want to write me a thank you card tomorrow.
So, grab a glass of red and dig in, my friend! To hell with Wednesdays!
Love,
Your weekend enthusiast friend,

Looks Yummy!!
Thanks =)
the ganache is definitely required, lest it seem too healthy to be a dessert.
I know, right?
Omg…the clip of the crust being pressed out into the pan. I can only imagine how delicious it is!
Great to hear from ya, Jo! =D
O.o Did something happen to your RSS feed? I thought you’d taken a pause in blogging or something but then I stop by and find I’ve missed loads
Oh well – I recently discovered the glory of oreo cookies as a base for pies, tarts and the like… they’re so awesome… they retain their crispness and have a beautiful, rich flavour. Lovely dish Angie
I need to check on that, I wasn’t aware–thanks for the heads up, Charles!
Oreo cookies rock like that, huh? =D
drrroooollll!!!! i can give up on my diet this instant if i had this infront of me…lol!
I know I had a “to hell with it!” attitude. It tastes like a cheesecake minus all the work!
oh my gosh that looks insanely divine!!

Thanks Jessica!D =D
I love the look of your tart. The oreo cookies would give a really lovely flavour to the base. I love how dark they are xx
It’s really addictive and I actually crept down for another piece last night around 2 :/
I not big on berries, but with the mascarpone and the chocolate, I’m game … and would gladly try a glass of port to check the pairing.
Yum. That would be very nice! =D
That looks incredible and utterly scrumptious! I’m also dying for Korean recipes. I’ll check out your archive in a minute.
Thank you, my friend! I hope you find lots of goodies there =D
I would love to make this. I think this is better than custard. but I have some questions. What size tart shell should I use and how many servings are in this tart. Oh and for the oreo cookies, do I only use the cookies and not the cream part right? Sorry for so many questions!
I created about an 8″ tart and it yielded enough for 5 people. Crush the cookies whole or blitz them in a food processor for finer crumbs. Hope this helps Sandy =D
Yum!
Thanks, Tandy =D
you are amazing. i think you need to write a cookbook!
It’s my hope that this comes to fruition very soon
You are one of those genius chefs my friend, just wanted to let you know
Wow!!!
Cheers

Let me just say that that looks spectacular. Marscapone and berries=instant classic!
There’s something comforting in such a bounty of summer fruit and mounds of fluffy cheese that makes you want to dive right in!
