LEMON-RICOTTA TART



Lemon-Ricotta Tart image

This cheesecake-like tart has a crust made from ground vanilla wafers rather than the standard graham crackers. The top of the tart might brown irregularly; conceal any spots by dusting the surface lightly with confectioners' sugar (use a fine-mesh sieve).

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

72 vanilla wafers (from a 12-ounce box)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups ricotta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons), plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor, pulse vanilla wafers until finely ground (to yield 2 cups). Add butter, and pulse until crumbs are evenly moistened.
  • Transfer crumb mixture to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Place pan on a baking sheet; bake crust until lightly browned and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • In clean food processor, blend ricotta, cream cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, and lemon zest and juice until smooth. Pour into hot crust in pan; bake until filling is set and browned in spots, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Just before serving, dust top of tart with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 baked tart crust, cooled, baked in 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (8 oz.)
2/3 cup cream cheese, at room temperature (6 oz.)
3/4 cup sugar (5 1/4 oz.)
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped from
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 pints strawberries, hulled and halved if large
1/2 cup strawberry jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the ricotta, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla bean seeds, salt, and nutmeg on medium speed.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  • Stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the filling into the prebaked tart shell and bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes or until the edges have puffed up but the middle is still quite wobbly (do not worry; as the tart cools, the center will firm up).
  • Cool to room temperature on a wire rack, then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Just before serving, put the strawberries in a bowl.
  • Warm the strawberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat, then strain the jam over the strawberries and toss to coat.
  • Arrange the berries on top of the tart and serve immediately.
  • The tart can be made a day in advance, but top with the strawberries just before serving.
  • Covered with plastic wrap, any leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
