Ingredients

  • 250g mascarpone
  • 150ml double cream
  • 100g natural yoghurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp icing sugar
  • 100g blackberries
  • 1 ready-made sweet shortcrust pastry case (about 20.5cm)

Instructions

Put the mascarpone, cream, yoghurt, vanilla and lemon zest into a large bowl, then sift over 2 tablespoons icing sugar. Use a hand-held electric whisk to mix together until just stiff.

In a small food processor, whiz 50g blackberries with the remaining icing sugar and lemon juice. Push the puree through a sieve (discard any pips), then marble through the creamy mixture.

Spoon the mixture into the pastry case, smooth into place and top with the remaining berries.
