Spread fresh, creamy ricotta on a thick slice of whole-wheat toast and top with heirloom tomato, fresh basil leaves, and a small drizzle of olive oil for an easy, satisfying summer breakfast, afternoon snack, or appetizer. Making Fresh Ricotta Salata: If you'd like to make a fresh farmer's cheese (ricotta salata) from this ricotta, wrap it in cheese cloth and press it beneath a weighted plate in the refrigerator overnight. Using the Leftover Whey: The leftover whey can be used in place of water in any baking recipe, whizzed into smoothies, or drunk on its own. Cream cheese: Cream cheese is made with milk and cream, while ricotta is made with just milk.
Steps to make Ricotta & Jam Tart:
- Beat softened Butter and Sugar until smooth. Beat in Egg and Vanilla, and mix well. Add Flour and gently mix to combine, bring the mixture together, and shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.
- Roll the dough to 4-5mm thickness and transfer to a pie dish. Trim off the extra dough. *Tips: You can spread the dough in the pie dish, bit by bit, by your hands. Make sure it is all same thickness.
- Mix Ricotta, softened Cream Cheese and Caster Sugar in a bowl, add Egg, Lemon Juice and Plain Flour (OR Corn Starch), and mix well. This mixture should be at room temperature or slightly warm.
- Spread Jam on the Pastry, and spread the Ricotta mixture evenly.
- With the remaining dough, make thin strips to create a lattice finish. You may wish to weave the strips properly, but I usually don’t bother.
- Bake in pre-heated oven at 180° for 40 minutes or until golden.
- Cool completely. Dust with Powdered Sugar.
The lower fat content makes the latter cheese slightly less creamy. However, cream cheese can still be substituted for ricotta. Queso fresco: Queso fresco, a fresh Mexican cheese, is a good alternative to ricotta in dishes where the cheese is uncooked. It's like cannelloni, but with crunchy browned bits! Everyday ingredients, a familiar dish, turned into something memorable.
