Title: Ricotta and Chocolate Tart (with photo)
Post by: farfallina on March 03, 2011, 01:41:53 pm: It is definitely in our Top 10 List !!

The tart base with the original recipe resulted a bit hard so when I made it 2nd time I tried it with the tart recipe which I previously gave in my Nutella Tart post and it satisfied me better

I hope you like it...

Ricotta and Chocolate Tart

Ingredients
Tart base
150g toasted hazelnuts
300g flour
1 sachet baking powder
1 sachet vanillin sugar
100g sugar
150g butter
1 egg + 1 egg yolk

Filling
500g ricotta
100g sugar
1 sachet vanillin sugar
30g milk
150g dark chocolate

Preparation
   * Break chocolate into pieces and put in TM Bowl. Grind chocolate for 10 seconds on Speed 8 and set aside
   * Clean TM Bowl with a piece of paper towel (without washing it)
   * Grind hazelnuts for 7 seconds on Speed 7
   * Sift in flour. Add baking powder, vanillin sugar, sugar, butter, egg and egg yolk. Mix for 50 seconds on Speed. Transfer it into a bowl and keep in the fridge while preparing the filling
   * Without washing TM Bowl, put ricotta, sugar, milk and vanillin sugar in TM Bowl and mix for 15-20 seconds on Speed 4-5
   * Cover a 24cm diameter cake tin with baking paper
   * Crumble 3/5 of tart base in cake tin as in the picture (don't press over)

   * Spread ricotta mixture leaving 1cm distance from the sides

   * Spread grinded chocolate over the ricotta mixture

   * Crumble the remaining tart dough on the top

   * Bake in preheated oven at 180ºC for 35-40 minutes
   * Let it cool at room temperature
   * Let it rest in the fridge at least 3 hours and then serve (It's better if you prepare the day before you serve it)
   * It's eaten with fork

Afiyet olsun....
