Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (stick) unsalted butter
1 egg
4 tablespoons milk or water
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 pounds ricotta
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
Salt
Water

Steps:

  • For the pasta frolla: Combine sugar, butter, egg, milk, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Fold in the flour but do not over mix; make sure that the mixture remains cool and does not become pasty. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, or until firm.
  • For the Ricotta Filling: Place the ricotta in a large bowl stir in the sugar, then the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla being careful not to over mix.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut off 1/2 of the pasta frolla and reserve. Roll 1/2 of the dough into a 14-inch disc and line a 9-inch cake pan with it. Allow the dough to hang over the edge of the pan. Roll out the reserved dough into a 10-inch circle. Reserve. Pour the ricotta filling into the crust base. Lay the reserved 10-inch circle of dough on the top of the filling. Trim the excess so there is a 1/2 to 3/4-inch overhang. Take the flap of dough left on the edge of the ring and roll it on itself so that it rests completely within the pan.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the egg with a pinch of salt and a few drops of water to make an egg wash. Brush the surface of the torta with the beaten egg mixture. Place the torta in the lower third of the oven and bake for about 45 minutes until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese

3 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 (8-inch) pie crust, blind baked until cooked through and golden brown.
3 pears, peeled, halved and cored
3 cups water

Gently fold in the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture along with the bittersweet chocolate. Spread the filling into the piecrust and refrigerate.

Fill in the gaps with extra pieces of pear, if necessary.
  • In another saucepan, heat the remaining 1 cup water and apricot jam. Stir and cook until the jelly is liquefied, so that it can be used as a glaze. Spread the apricot glaze over the pears and let the pie rest in the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.

FRUTTI DI BOSCO TART RECIPE - (4/5)



Frutti di Bosco Tart Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by feeferlump

Number Of Ingredients 20

Crust (makes 2 dough balls):
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup ice water
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
Pastry Cream:
4 cups whole milk
8 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
2/3-3/4 cup flour
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
Fruit Topping:
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blackberries
1 cup red currants
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • To make the pastry cream, in a small saucepan, heat the milk and scraped out vanilla bean over medium-high heat, until just scalded. (Temperature reached should be just below the boiling point.) Combine eggs yolks and sugar in a small bowl and beat together. Slowly stir in the flour, then add 1/4 hot milk mixture in order to temper eggs and raise their temperature without curdling or scrambling them. Pour egg mixture into remaining hot milk and return to heat, stirring constantly. Bring mixture just to a boil, then remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap. Note: make sure to place plastic wrap directly on the surface to avoid a film from forming. Refrigerate until completely chilled. For the crust: pulse flour, sugar, lemon zest and salt in a food processor until combined. Then add cold butter and pulse until butter breaks down into pea-sized crumbs. Slowly drizzle in ice water with the food processor running until dough begins to come together. Then add in 2 eggs. Mix until fully incorporated. Set up 2, large pieces of plastic wrap and turn dough out. Divide in half, roll each half into a ball, then flatten each into a disc. Tightly wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350º F. Remove 1 dough disc from fridge and roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Carefully transfer to a lightly greased, 9-inch, tart tin/springform pan. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, then trim off excess overhang. Prick the bottom all over with a fork, cover with aluminum foil and place beans (or other form of weight) on top of the foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake for another 15-20, or until golden. Remove and let cool completely. Combine berries in a large bowl and muddle slightly. Mix together so juices combine and set aside. Once crust is completely cool, spoon pastry cream evenly along the inside of pie shell and top with mixed berries. Garnish with a liberal dusting of powdered sugar and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Raspberry Dessert Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces fresh ricotta cheese, well drained
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons light flavored honey
1 tablespoon lemon zest
20 amaretti cookies
20 fresh blackberries
5 fresh raspberries
5 leaves fresh mint
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Combine drained ricotta, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and honey in a glass or stainless steel mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients until creamy using the lowest speed of a stand mixer or hand mixer, about 1 minute. Whip on high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in lemon zest. Transfer mixture to a piping bag and place in the refrigerator while you prepare the serving glasses.
  • Put amaretti cookies into a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and crush cookies into crumbs that are chunky and not too fine. Set aside 1 tablespoon of crumbs. Divide remaining crumbs evenly between five 6-ounce glasses.
  • Pipe ricotta cream into each glass. Top with a sprinkle of the reserved cookie crumbs. Garnish each glass with 4 blackberries, 1 raspberry, 1 mint leaf, and a pinch of nutmeg. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • To make a smooth and creamy ricotta whipped cream, make sure the ricotta is cold and well-drained.
  • To easily remove the peach skin, score a small "x" on the bottom of each peach and blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • When whipping the cream, start on low speed and gradually increase it to high. This will help to prevent the cream from curdling.
  • If you want a lighter and fluffier whipped cream, use heavy cream instead of regular cream.
  • You can use any type of berries for this recipe. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.

Conclusion:

Torta frutti di bosco with ricotta whipped cream is a delicious and refreshing summer dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy ricotta filling and fresh berries are a perfect combination, and the whipped cream adds a light and airy touch. This recipe is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights or weekend gatherings.
