Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Мethod of preparation

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). For the crust, combine the ground almonds, flour, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the chilled butter and blend using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Incorporate the egg yolk, working the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring an even and snug fit; then chill for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by whisking together ricotta cheese, honey, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl, blending until smooth and creamy. Evenly spread the ricotta mixture onto the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place fresh raspberries uniformly across the surface of the ricotta mixture, gently pressing them slightly into the filling. Bake the tart for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the crust achieves a golden hue and the filling sets. Remove the tart from the oven, allowing it to cool to room temperature. Before serving, add a final touch by dusting the surface with powdered sugar. Enjoy this delicious creation, and remember to share it with those you hold dear.
