This Strawberry Mascarpone Hazelnut Chocolate Tart is so easy to make. Just see how my 11 year old granddaughter did it.
My Strawberry Mascarpone Hazelnut Chocolate Tart was the recipe that earned me a spot as a finalist 2 years ago in the Pillsbury Bake-off Contest.
This past week all of my grandchildren were out of town, Grandpa Bob and I went to the lake for a week, so we did not get to have my weekly Kids Cooking Class. I am reposting a previous cooking class with my granddaughter when she made this.
My 11 year old granddaughter called me one day and said that she was required to do a “How To” demonstration speech in one of her classes. She asked to do my Pillsbury entry! She came to my house one evening and made the tart and I took pictures. This was an easy recipe to do and I am so proud of the great job she did.
I reviewed the recipe with her and she assembled the ingredients.
She crumbled the cookie dough and pressed it into the tart pan.
Poke holes in bottom of crust with a fork.
Baked crust cooling.
She was so amazed when the removable bottom came off of the tart pan.

She was so proud of the finished product!!!
Her teacher and class enjoyed her delicious presentation.
I love spending time in the kitchen with my grandchildren and feel so honored that they are proud of me for my accomplishments.
HERE is the recipe from the Pillsbury website for this tart.
STRAWBERRY MASCARPONE HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE TART
Ingredients
- 1 roll 16.5 oz refrigerated Pillsbury™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 12 oz mascarpone cheese room temperature
