Mousse Filling

  • 8 oz mascarpone 1 cup
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 14 oz Can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 lemon (juice + Zest)
  • 1/4 cup roasted strawberry puree + 2 tablespoons for more intense strawberry flavor

Roasted Strawberries

  • 1 lb Fresh Strawberries washed and cut
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract *optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract *optional
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Instructions
 

Roasted Strawberries

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash and cut strawberries and toss with sugar, lemon, and extracts.
  • Place strawberries on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes or until fragrant and slightly caramelized
  • Transfer warm strawberries to a medium saucepan on the stovetop and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Using a food processor, blender, puree the strawberries and transfer to the refrigerator to cool.

Mousse Filling

  • Combine mascarpone and heavy whipping cream to a mixing bowl fitted with a whisk attachment and whisk on medium speed until medium-firm peaks form. Careful to not over mix or it will look curdled.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the lemon juice, zest, sweetened condensed milk and strawberry puree until well combined.
  • Using a food processor or zip lock bag, crush the shortbread cookies into a crumble

Assemble

  • Using a mason jar or dessert cup- add a layer of crushed shortbread cookies (2 tablespoons)
  • Using a spoon or a piping bag, add a layer of tart filling. Keep alternating between the tart and crushed shortbread cookie layer. Top with freshly cut strawberries and or whipped cream
  • Optional- allow to chill in the refrigerator for 2-12 hours if you prefer a firmer filling texture

Notes

*Tips: 
  • The tart filling will firm up after 2-12 hours in the refrigerator but can be enjoyed right away.
