Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 sheets phyllo dough
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon orange zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Drain ricotta cheese in a sieve for 20 minutes; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 6 3-inch loose-bottomed tart pans with nonfat cooking spray.
  • Leave phyllo sheets in a stack and use a ruler to trace 6 5-inch squares onto top sheet (3 squares across and 2 squares down). Using a sharp knife, cut along traced lines, through all 5 sheets of dough. Immediately line each tart pan with 5 sheets of dough, lightly brushing melted butter or margarine between each layer. Trim edges of dough.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, egg, orange rind, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Pour an equal amount of mixture into each tart pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool tarts slightly, then arrange raspberries on top. To serve, remove tarts from pans and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

These tarts were delicious! The ricotta filling was creamy and flavorful, and the raspberries added a nice tartness. The phyllo dough was also very good. It was crispy and flaky, and it held up well to the filling.

These tarts were easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a store-bought phyllo dough and it worked perfectly. The ricotta filling was creamy and the raspberries added a nice pop of color. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these tarts for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the ricotta filling. Other than that, they were perfect.
