Crostata Di Ricotta E Cioccolato

A traditional Italian dessert, this tart combines sweet ricotta cheese with rich dark chocolate for a truly indulgent treat.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a large bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, and the salt. Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In another bowl, combine the ricotta, the remaining sugar, the chocolate, and the vanilla. Mix until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
Spread the ricotta mixture over the dough.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
Allow to cool before serving.
