Nutella and Ricotta tart with photos

[fundj&e]

440 g nutella
250 g ricotta
1tablespoon of sugar
40 g unsalted butter (soft)

1 pre baked short bread pastry case

Blend all ingredients until smooth
Pour into a pre baked short bread pastry case and bake for 35 mins (still in the tin)



My tin was 18cm by 4cm loose bottom
About ½ cup of mixture did remain, so you could use a lager tin
The short bread pastry was given to me by my DS he was too busy and his kitchen was too hot to work with the pastry. I think the recipe for the pastry is from, Stephanie Alexander's The Cook's Companion

The cream cheese pastry would be very nice with this filling

I have made this pastry using GF flour
I pre baked my pastry case and froze them all.

Serve cold. 5 days later still yum!

Thanks Uni, the ricotta would certainly cut the richness of the nutella.  Homemade ricotta and homemade nutella on the forum for those wanting to make the whole thing from scratch too.

Looks great fundj, those pastry cases look perfect. I can never get mine to remain that even after cooking.

Wow, this has only 4 ingredients too. I wonder if you could swap the nutella for peanut butter. On second thoughts I wouldn't as I would eat it all then.

Previously when i have made this tart it gets eaten up in minutes never knowing how it keeps in the fridge. i took 1 to my sister for xmas it should of been 2, i dropped 1. see ops...........photo thread 

With so many yummy desserts around a 1/4 of this tart was left i thought my sis would bin it but to my surprise she keep it , she had guest over for lunch yesterday and did serve it. This morning i received an email from one of my sister’s guest saying how much they loved this tart and would like this recipe.

Now i know 5 days later still yum

Uni - do you serve this hot or cold?  I'm thinking cold but just wanted to check?

I've had this on my list to make since i got my TMX 2 years ago and I'm finally getting around to it tonight 😛

[fundj&e]

Yes cold snappy

Thanks Uni.  One more question - what temp did you bake it at?

I started at 160C FF but the edges are starting to go brown so I've just turned it right down to 125C FF
