CREAM CHEESE CROSTATA WITH ORANGE MARMALADE
As published in Bon Appetit, Crostata con Crema di Formaggio e Marmellata di Arance Amare was touted as being one of the most popular desserts at Restaurant Zibibbo in Florence. I love a recipe that has few ingredients and a simple preparation, but results in a nice presentation and fabulous flavor. This is one of those. Actually, I did not try the crust recipe, as I had an extra crust already made that I needed to use so I used it. I do intend to make this again soon, though, and will update the recipe as to the results. Prep time includes 2 hours chill time. The recipe was credited to Chef Benedetta Vitali of Zibibbo.

ORANGE CREAM CHEESE SPREAD
"Here's a smooth fluffy spread that couldn't be easier to make-it has only four ingredients," reports Lois Gelzer of Standish, Maine. "Try it as a topper on oven-fresh muffins or pumpkin bread. It lends a zingy orange taste to toast and bagels at breakfast, too."

Tips for Making Cream Cheese Crostata:
- Use cold cream cheese. Cold cream cheese will be easier to work with and will hold its shape better in the crostata.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making it light and flaky.
- Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture. Add the flour a little bit at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the orange slices. This will help to prevent the orange slices from tearing.
- Brush the edges of the crostata with an egg wash before baking. This will help to brown the edges and give the crostata a shiny glaze.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese crostata with orange marmalade is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
