Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits. Slowly sprinkle in the water, one tablespoon at a time, and use a fork to bring the dough together. Once it starts to hold, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and quickly shape it into a large ball. Flatten it into a disc about 5 inches wide, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and pop it in the fridge for at least half an hour to chill.

Step 2
When you’re ready, heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll the chilled dough out on a floured surface to a 14-inch circle, about a quarter-inch thick. Carefully fold it in half and transfer it to a 10-inch tart pan. Unfold the dough and gently press it into the bottom and sides, trimming any extra for a neat edge. Use a fork to prick the bottom all over, then cover it with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans to keep the crust from puffing up.

Step 3
Bake the crust for 20 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until it’s golden brown. Let it cool completely before filling.

Step 4
For the filling, whisk together mascarpone, cream, crème fraîche, and pudding mix until soft peaks form. Spread the creamy mixture evenly into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the top with a spatula. Arrange your berries on top however you like, then pop the tart in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
