- Torta di
Ricotta
- (Ricotta Cheese Cake)
-
-
-
Ingredients:
-
- For the crust:
2 1/2 cups (250 grams) flour
2/3 cup (125 grams) unsalted butter or rendered lard
2/3 cup (125 grams) sugar
3 yolks
-
- For the filling:
2/3 pound (300 grams) fresh ricotta
2/3 cup (125 grams) sugar
Grated zest of half an orange
2 yolks
1/4 pound (100 grams) finely minced candied candied fruit peel
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
- Directions:
-
- Mix the flour and sugar and cream the butter.
-
- Combine the ingredients of the dough, using a pastry cutter and working the dough as little as possible with your hands. Form it into a ball and let it sit in a cool place for an hour.
In the meantime, put the ricotta through a strainer, combine it with the sugar, and beat the mixture with a fork until it is smooth and creamy.
-
- Lightly beat the yolks and work them into the mixture a bit at a time, and finally stir in the minced candied fruit.
Divide the dough into two unequal pieces.
-
- Use the larger one to line a buttered 8-inch pie pan. Fill the pie with the filling, cover it with the second piece of crust, tamping down around the edges, and bake it in a moderate oven for about an hour.
-
- Let it cool, remove it from the pie pan, and dust it with powdered sugar.
