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
  1. Preheat oven at 350.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. For the Filling: Using mixer, beat ricotta cheese, cream cheese, cornstarch, & vanilla to blend. Beat in sugar, orange zest, & eggs.
  5. 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.*
  6. Transfer filling to tart pan.
  7. 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*
  8. Bake for 1 hour, until golden and puffed. Cool completely.
