How to Make Fresh Orange Tart With Lemon Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, unfold 1 (10-11 inch) sheet of pre-made pie crust. If using homemade dough, refer to your recipe.
  3. Place the pastry circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Prick the base all over with a fork. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  5. Beat 1 large egg. Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and brush with the beaten egg.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Cover the pastry with another baking sheet to weigh it down and prevent puffing. Bake for another 5 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  9. While the crust bakes, zest 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon zest).
  10. Peel and thinly slice 2 oranges.
  11. Toss orange slices with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  12. In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup water and 8 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  13. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and forms a syrup (about 5-7 minutes).
  14. Add the reserved orange zest and cook for another 10 minutes.
  15. Remove the candied zest with a slotted spoon and place on parchment paper to cool and dry.
  16. In a bowl, gently combine 1 cup lemon curd and 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese.
  17. Once the tart shell is completely cool, spread the lemon-mascarpone mixture evenly over the base.
  18. Arrange the sugared orange slices on top of the lemon cream.
  19. Sprinkle with the candied orange zest.
