Crostata alla ricotta
Crostata alla ricotta is a traditional Italian dessert made with a sweet pastry crust and a creamy ricotta cheese filling. It’s typically flavored with sugar, lemon zest, and sometimes chocolate chips or candied fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 egg
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 lemon zest
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and 1/2 cup of sugar. Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, lemon zest, and chocolate chips if using.
- Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
- Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pastry.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the crostata to cool before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
