Crust
25 gingersnap cookies, coarsely broken (about 6 ounces; about 2 1/4 cups pieces)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
1 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese*
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sugar

Cool completely.

I made this tart for my family and they loved it! The crust was crispy and the filling was smooth and creamy. The nectarines were perfectly ripe and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.
