Lemon Ricotta Tart Recipe - SDRecipeGirl - 03-19-2007
Here is a wonderful recipe for a Lemon Ricotta Tart. I served it at a dinner party recently and it was just gobbled up and raved about. It's a perfect light dessert for spring! Ok, well... not light in terms of calories, but you know what I mean...
LEMON RICOTTA TART
6 dozen vanilla wafers
6 tablespons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
1/2 8-ounce bar cream cheese, room temperature
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, pulse vanilla wafers until finely ground (to yield 2 cups). Transfer to a medium bowl; add melted butter, using your hands to combine.
2. Press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Place pan on a baking sheet; bake crust until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven.
3. In a food processor, blend ricotta, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and lemon zest and juice until smooth. Pour into crust; bake until filling is set and browned in spots, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool completely before serving.

Sounds like a winner to me. What's not to love?
Mmmm, ricotta and cream cheese, lemon juice and zest Plus - vanilla wafers.

That sounds excellent! I think I'll try this recipe instead of ricotta cake. Thanks Lori!
