- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (1/2 package), thawed
- 1 pound dry beans, for baking the tart shell
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 1/2 pints fruit (berries, figs, bananas, stonefruit, etc.)

- To make the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the eggs and the sugar and beat on high speed until the mixture triples in volume.
- Beat in the flour and 2 teaspoons vanilla.
- Meanwhile heat the butter over medium-high heat until it browns.
- Beat the brown butter into the batter, being sure to scrape all of the browned butter bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Let the batter rest for about 20 min.
- To assemble the tart: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the puff pastry out until it is large enough to fill a 10-inch removable bottom tart mold.
- Line the tart mold with the dough then dock or poke the dough with a fork in several spots.
- Place parchment paper on top of the dough and fill with the beans.
- Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Add the lemon zest to the brown butter batter.
- When the crust has cooled add the fruit and pour the brown butter batter over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
- The top should be slightly souffled and the inside will be set but still moist.
- Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Mix the mascarpone cheese with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
