Ricotta and Sour Cherry Jam Tart (with photo)

[farfallina]

Hi everyone

I got this recipe from Romina, a friend of ours. She is subscribed to the official magazine of Thermomix Italy which is called as Voi... Noi... Bimby. She is collecting the magazine itself and also the recipe cards which were given as a gift with every issue. This delicious recipe comes from one of those cards.

I hope you enjoy it..


Ingredients for tart pastry:
Thinly peeled skin of 1 lemon (without the white)
80g sugar
300g flour
1 egg (60g)
1 egg yolk
130g butter, softened
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanillin sugar

Filling:
400g ricotta
100g sugar
2 egg yolks
70g Rum
100g strong espresso, room temperature
12 savoiardi (ladyfingers) biscuits
150g amarena cherry jam (sour cherry jam)

Additionally 50g sugar (to prepare icing sugar)


Preparation:

Tart Pastry:

    Place sugar and lemon peel in TM Bowl. Powderize for 10 seconds on Speed 8.

    Sift in flour and baking powder. Add butter and eggs. Knead for 20 seconds on Speed 5.

    Wrap with plastic film and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour.

    Cover a 26cm tart tin with baking paper. With 3/4 of the pastry cover the bottom and sides of tart tin. Keep the remaining pastry aside.


Filling and Decoration:

    Combine Rum and espresso in a bowl. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. (Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart). Place them over the tart base.

    Spoon by spoon put jam over the ladyfingers and spread as much as possible.

    For cheese filling mix ricotta, sugar and egg yolks for 15 seconds on Speed 2.

    Spread evenly cheese mixture on the top.

    Prepare strips with the remaining pastry and place them over the tart.

    Bake in preheated oven at 180ºC for 40 - 45 minutes until golden brown.

    Remove from the oven. Let it cool.

    After cooled let it rest in refrigerator for 2 hours before you serve it.

    In a clean and wiped TM Bowl put 50g of sugar and powderize for 10 seconds on Speed 10. Sprinkle over the tart right before you serve it. (There isn't icing sugar over the tart in the photos because I completely forgot about it!   )


Enjoy...

Thank you Denise 

I'd have never thought of using savoiardi this way! It looks pretty also when sliced.
