Ricotta & Amaretti Cream Tart is a dessert that you will fall in love with at first bite.
The filling is a real treat: rich, soft and sweet thanks to the ricotta, but at the same time pleasantly grainy thanks to the crushed amaretti, it releases an intense aroma and flavour, enriched by the presence of coffee.
Of course, if we want to taste less of the coffee, we can reduce the dose.
A triumph of flavours and fragrances that combine perfectly with each other to create a delicious dessert.
A slice of Ricotta & Amaretti Cream Tart is perfect as an after-dinner dessert.
Or as breakfast with a hot cappuccino, to start the day with the right dose of energy!
This is one of those desserts that pleases everyone and all true gourmets.
Bake it and, if you love the taste and aroma of coffee and amaretti biscuits, it will become one of your favourites!
This is one of those tarts you absolutely must try…
… simply irresistible!

5 teaspoons of coffee
100 g of crushed amaretti biscuits
Directions
- Let’s start preparing the filling.
- Crush the amaretti biscuits with a blender and set aside.
- In a large bowl pour ricotta, icing sugar, yogurt and coffee in order to get a fluid cream.
- Add the crushed amaretti biscuits and mix everything until the cream reaches the right consistency.
- Set aside in the fridge while preparing the shortcrust.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, a pinch of salt, oil, the vanilla essence, the whole egg and the yolk.
- Stir with a fork, then gradually add the flour and baking powder until a dough begins to form.
- Move to a work surface and add the remaining flour until the dough is elastic and no longer sticks to your hands.
- Roll out on a sheet of baking paper to a thickness of about 4-5 mm.
- Roll out the shortcrust pastry into a 26 cm tart mould and pierce it with a fork.
- Fill the shortcrust pastry shell with the creamy mix.
- Roll out the remaining shortcrust pastry and make some strips to place on the tart.
- Bake in a preheated oven to 180°C for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
- Once cooled to room temperature, take it out of the mould.
- Serve it as it is or with a little sprinkle of icing sugar.
