    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 5
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    1 ¼ c. fresh sliced strawberries
    6 tbsp. Hy-Vee sugar, divided
    1 ¼ c. Hy-Vee all-purpose flour
    ½ c. Hy-Vee butter, chilled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
    Coarse sugar
    ½ c. mascarpone cheese
    ¼ c. lemon curd
    ½ c. heavy whipping cream

    Directions

    1. In a medium bowl, toss strawberry slices with 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover and refrigerate.
    2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
    3. In a mixing bowl, mix together flour and 3 tablespoons sugar using paddle attachment. Add butter and continue to mix until dough just forms and pulls away from sides of bowl, about 5 minutes. Form into a ball.
    4. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut dough into 10 circles. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
    5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool completely.
    6. In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese and lemon curd; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat whipping cream and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
    7. To serve, place one shortbread cookie on a plate. Spoon mascarpone mixture on top. Add berries and top with another cookie. Serve immediately.
