Sweet Ricotta Cheese Tart Recipe

	Akarlin / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago This is a great dessert to make for a dinner party. Not only is this tart such an elegant and sophisticated looking dessert, it is relatively simple to make (although the dough is quite sticky and can sometimes be a pain). Oh, and of course, it tastes divine!!... More Prep:25m Cook:60m Servings:12	Akarlin

Ingredients

For Crust:

1 ¾ cups flour

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoon orange zest

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ cup butter diced & chilled

2 large eggs

For Filling:

15 oz ricotta cheese

3 oz cream cheese, room temperature

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup sugar

1 ½ teaspoons orange zest

2 large eggs

Directions

Preheat oven at 350.

For the Crust: Combine flour, sugar, orange zest, salt, & baking powder in food processor. Add butter & blend until coarse meal forms. Add eggs & blend until moist clumps form.

Turn dough onto lightly floured board & knead to combine well, ~ 1 minute. Divide into 2 pieces, one slightly larger. Wrap & chill at least 30 minutes.

For the Filling: Using mixer, beat ricotta cheese, cream cheese, cornstarch, & vanilla to blend. Beat in sugar, orange zest, & eggs.

To Assemble: Roll out larger piece to an 11-inch round. Press over bottom & up sides of 9-inch tart pan. *I recommend rolling the dough between wax paper to prevent it from sticking and to make it easier to get into the tart pan.*

Transfer filling to tart pan.

Roll out smaller dough piece to 10-inch round. Place round over tart; trim excess dough. Press edges of tart to seal. Cut 4 slits in top of tart. *You can forego the top crust and, instead, use the smaller dough piece to make sugar cookies*

Bake for 1 hour, until golden and puffed. Cool completely.

I loved this recipe! The orange zest is perfect. (And yes, the dough is really sticky, and the wax paper suggestion does help.) I also added a layer of powdered sugar on top. Next time I might try substituting honey for sugar in the filling.
