Lemon and Ricotta Tart
Matt SinclairIngredients:
Serves: 8
- 2 sheets shortcrust pastry
- ½ cup medjool dates
- 2 free range eggs
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 2-3 tsp lemon zest
- 250gm fresh ricotta
- ½ cup thickened cream
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
Method:
- Remove pastry and allow to thaw slightly before pressing into a lightly greased loose-bottom round tart tin. Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Tear apart the dates into small half-bite sized pieces, careful to remove all seeds Scatter them over the base of the pastry.
- Using a mixer, beat the eggs, sugar and zest together until pale and thick (approximately 10 minutes).
- Add the ricotta, cream and flour and beat lightly until smooth. Pour the ricotta mixture into the tart tin and smooth out evenly. Place into the oven and bake for 1 hour until lightly golden and set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack in the tin before removing it from the tart tin to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar and serve with dollop cream.
