Ricotta Cheese Tart (VEGETARIAN-ITALY)


INGREDIENTS FOR A 9 IN MOLD

  • Powdered sugar 1.1 cups
  • Flour 3 cups
  • Egg yolks 2
  • Butter 1 cup - cold from fridge
  • Lemon peel 1

FOR THE FILLING

  • Cow's milk ricotta cheese 1.1 lbs
  • Sugar 1 cup
  • Egg yolks 2
  • Dark chocolate chips ¼ cup
  • Orange peel 1
  • Cinnamon powder 1 pinch

To prepare the Ricotta Cheese Crostata tart, start with the ricotta pie and leave it to drain in a strainer for a couple of hours  depending on how rich it is in whey. Then proceed with the shortcrust pastry: put the flour into a mixer together with the cold butter cut into small pieces  and beat on low for a few moments. Pour the grainy mixture onto the worktop and add the powdered sugar, in the middle make a crater with your hands and pour the egg yolks into it. Grate the lemon peel  and knead until obtaining a smooth and homogeneous dough. which you can wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. Meanwhile, make the cream. In a mixer pour the egg yolks together with the sugar and grate the orange peel, then add the cinnamon powder. Lastly, add the ricotta  and blend until smooth ; set aside. Take the shortcrust dough and remove the wrap, beat it with a rolling pin to soften it a little bit, then divide it into two parts, one double the size of the other, and start rolling the larger one between two sheets of baking paper. You will obtain a disc of about 1/16"  and place it in a 9" (pie pan already buttered and floured. Use your fingers to carefully arrange it so that the dough fits the baking pan. If it breaks in some places, don't worry, just patch them with pieces of the dough. Level the edges on the top with the rolling pin and then pierce the bottom with a fork. In the middle pour the ricotta cream  and carefully level it with a spatula. Then sprinkle the surface with chocolate chips  and finally roll out the second layer of shortcrust pastry  to obtain a disc which you will put on top. Level the tart by rolling with the rolling pin so as to eliminate the excess shortbread (which you can freeze and then use on another occasion perhaps to make biscotti!) and let the air escape. To finish, pierce the surface with a knife blade, more useful than the fork in this case, and bake in a preheated oven, in static mode at 340° degree) for 70 minutes: make sure to put the pan onto a drip pan and cook it on the lower rack. Halfway through the cooking process, re-pierce the holes you created on the top with a knife and then continue cooking. Once baked, take out the ricotta cheese tart and let it cool completely before enjoying it

Rub a little salt on the inside of each eggplant, then place them on a flat surface so that they do not touch each other and press down with a heavy object. You can place a large pan lid or the bottom of a flat plate on top of them, then put another heavy object on top. Alternatively, you can arrange them in a colander and press them down with a heavy object. With the combination of pressing and salt, this will help remove all the excess juice from the eggplant. Press and hold for several hours or even overnight to remove as much water as possible. The key is to keep them in a cool place and this can
