Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar.
2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with the water, then add this mixture to the flour and butter mixture.
4. Mix just until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
5. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and dry cocoa powder until smooth.
4. Add the remaining egg and whisk until well combined.
5. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
1. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan. The dough should be about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan and press it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough.
3. Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
2. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the tart pan on a wire rack.
3. Once cooled, remove the tart from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Slice and serve the chocolate ricotta tart at room temperature. You can also dust it with a little powdered sugar or cocoa powder for an extra decorative touch.
Tips:
- Ensure that your butter is cold when mixing it with the flour and powdered sugar to achieve a flaky crust. You can cut it into small cubes to make the process easier.
- When melting the dark chocolate, use a double boiler or microwave in short intervals to prevent burning.
- For a smoother filling, make sure to blend the ricotta cheese well before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Let the tart cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
- If you prefer a sweeter tart, you can increase the amount of sugar in the filling according to your taste.
Your Chocolate Ricotta Tart is now ready to be enjoyed. The harmonious blend of rich chocolate and creamy ricotta cheese will undoubtedly make this dessert a standout. Serve it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance. Happy baking!
