I baked these yesterday and they were great!
The recipe is adapted from recipes on Proud Italian Cook and Masterchef Australia.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets shortcrust pastry
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup cream cheese
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 punnet strawberries
- 1-2 tsp berry jam
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180ºC
- Cut pastry into rounds and place in a shallow patty pan tray
- Mix ricotta, cream cheese and sugar with electric beaters; add eggs one at a time and beat until smooth. Stir in vanilla.
- Put about 1/2 tbs of mixture into each pastry case and top with sliced strawberries.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 20 mins, or until edges puff and skewer comes out clean.
- Melt jam on stove or in microwave (about 15 sec) and glaze warm tarts.
- Serve at room temperature or refrigerated.
Makes 24
Above are the standard ingredients, but I used low fat/sugar versions: reduced fat shortcrust pastry, low fat ricotta and cream cheese and Equal Baking instead of sugar. I didn’t make my own pastry, but you can of course use your favourite pastry recipe if you want to.
The mixture can make about 30 tarts, but if cut right 2 sheets of pastry makes exactly 24 tarts. The mixture can be kept in the fridge in a sealed container for a day or two if you want to make it in advance, or if you don’t want to cook it all at once.
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
Hi,
I know this may not be the right place to ask this question. But im a bit new to Thesis and It seems you are a real Thesis expert. Is there any way to load the styles in custom.css into the TInyMCE wordpress editor so that i can see the CSS applied directly while editing.
Hope this doesn’t go into the spam folder.!
Regards,
Rian
Ryan — Heh, yes. Definitely not the right place, but I’ll let it pass this time 😉 Best places to ask are in the Thesis forum, on my contact form, on related posts, or even for this one the WordPress forums because it’s more of a WordPress issue…
Anywho, I don’t use the visual editor, so I have little experience with it, but the TinyMCE Advanced plugin might do what you want.
I’m a sucker for anything with strawberries, so I will definitely be trying to whip these up myself!
I don’t have free time lately but I will definitely spare some time for these strawberry ricotta tarts. I just love strawberries
I like strawberry, so i think this is worth a try. Hey Kristarella, i am really amazed at how you became a web designer from being a molecular biologist. How does it feel like?
