Steps
|
1
|
Place the powdered sugar and softened butter into the pan of your Panasonic breadmaker. Start the manual cake kneading programme (e.g. SD-YR2550: programme 29; SD-YR2540: programme 30; SD-R2530 programme 28) and allow the machine to work until the mix is reduced to a cream. |
|
2
|
Add the egg, flour and pinch of salt and run the machine again for a few minutes. |
|
3
|
Transfer the dough to a worktop and work it with your hands until smooth. Make a ball, cover it with cling film and put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour. |
|
4
|
In the meantime start preparing the cream. Quickly mix the mascarpone with the powdered sugar, then whip the fresh cream and add it to the mascarpone, stirring gently. Leave the cream in the fridge until you want to use it. |
|
5
|
Take the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface until it is 4-5 mm thick. |
|
6
|
Bake the 2 hearts at 175°C for 15-16 minutes. Once ready, let them cool completely. |
|
7
|
Transfer one heart to a plate, then use a piping bag to decorate it with cream tufts. Place the other heart on top and decorate. Finish with fresh strawberries and raspberries, a few mint leaves and some macarons. Store in the fridge until it is time to serve it. |
