Strawberry and Ricotta Tart
 |
Strawberry season has arrived. Those gorgeous sweet berries are everywhere and I don’t know about you but I’m using them as fast as I can. I was practically giddy when my La Cucina Italiana Magazine arrived this month and one of the features was on Strawberries. I will be making every one of them multiple times I’m sure. The one that caught my eye first was this fragrant bright Strawberry and RICOTTA Tart.
I kid you not I almost ate the entire thing myself. I couldn’t help it. I blame that sweet-tart. I modified the recipe putting my own spin on it and am tickled red with how it turned out. It’s all about the berries people so be sure to grab the sweetest freshest locally grown ones you can find. The filling is made with creamy RICOTTA, farm fresh eggs and a touch of sugar for sweetness and a dash of zest for zing.
Now who wants a slice?

If you don’t mind, can I submit your Strawberry and RICOTTA Tart photo in http://www.foodporn.net ?
It’s a food photography site full of all DIY food pictures from members around the world. Or perhaps you’d like to submit by yourself? Let me know when you did, so I can share it.
This looks great! I love the chocolate crust.
Oh my lands! I so very much want this… SO VERY MUCH.
Be still my heart…
Anything with ricotta is ok with me, but put strawberries on top and it’s bliss. What a beautiful tart.
SO gorgeous! Can you please bring one with you to BHF??
Oh boy. The strawberries on my counter are doomed – but they are destined for this gorgeous dessert!!
What a beautiful tart, Paula. I love it! I’m so glad to see that strawberry season is coming on the radar!
Arata nemaipomenit. Mi-ai facut pofta.
That looks delicious! I love fruit tarts!
Well done. I just made myself a lemon tart. You can find the recipe on my website
So beautiful! And the chocolate crust sounds amazing!!
Your tart is gorgeous, and the ricotta is a wonderful touch! Sounds so creamy and tangy with a wonderful flaky crust!
You’re photo’s are spectacular, and I love fruit tart, I might have to treat MOM to this for Mother’s Day!
My mouth is watering just looking at these photos! This looks spectacular! Can’t wait to give it a try!
I couldn’t find a chocolate pie crust, so I used a Pillsbury regular one–it’s as easy as it seems, and it’s delicious and light. I made it for Mother’s Day brunch…and I will definitely make it again. No ingredient adjustments are needed!
How in the world did I miss this beauty! YUM-O-LISCIOUS
What a great recipe! Love the fresh strawberries!
Am I missing something – do you have the recipe for the chocolate pie crust ?
