  • Total Time: 2 hours 37 minutes
  • Yield: 8–10 slices

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups (168g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp (39g) sugar
  • 5 tbsp (70g) unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 12 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (86g) powdered sugar, divided
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Mini chocolate chips, for topping

Instructions

  1. Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9-inch tart pan with non-stick spray. Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then add melted butter. Press into pan and bake 7 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Filling: Mix mascarpone, vanilla, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar gently. Whip cream with remaining 1/4 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture in two parts. Spread evenly over cooled crust. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top. Refrigerate 2-3 hours until firm.
  3. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container; best within 4-5 days.

Notes

  • Mascarpone can get watery if too warm; gentle mixing is key.
  • Chill tart until firm before serving for best results.
