Instructions
1. For the crust: In a food processor, combine flour, butter, and granulated sugar. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add egg yolk and ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out dough and press into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick bottom with a fork.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
5. For the filling: In a bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, limoncello, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
6. Spread the mascarpone filling evenly into the cooled tart shell.
7. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with additional lemon zest if desired.
