Preparation Line a large sieve with a layer of heavy-duty (fine-mesh) cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl. Ricotta was originally created in Italy to use up the whey when a cheesemaker separates milk or cream into curds and whey for other cheeses. Ricotta feels smooth but slightly grainy. A simple marriage of ricotta cheese, egg, and a Ricotta gives this sauce a cheesy tanginess that we don't get with heavy cream.
Steps to make Ricotta & Jam Tart:
- Beat softened Butter and Sugar until smooth. Beat in Egg and Vanilla, and mix well. Add Flour and gently mix to combine, bring the mixture together, and shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.
- Roll the dough to 4-5mm thickness and transfer to a pie dish. Trim off the extra dough. - *Tips: You can spread the dough in the pie dish, bit by bit, by your hands. Make sure it is all same thickness.
- Mix Ricotta, softened Cream Cheese and Caster Sugar in a bowl, add Egg, Lemon Juice and Plain Flour (OR Corn Starch), and mix well. This mixture should be at room temperature or slightly warm.
- Spread Jam on the Pastry, and spread the Ricotta mixture evenly.
- With the remaining dough, make thin strips to create a lattice finish. You may wish to weave the strips properly, but I usually don’t bother.
- Bake in pre-heated oven at 180° for 40 minutes or until golden.
- Cool completely. Dust with Powdered Sugar.
