Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir to mix well.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Butter

    Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until the dough holds together. If the dough is too crumbly, add a tablespoon of cold water at a time until it forms a ball.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 7

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your tart pan. Carefully place the rolled dough into the pan and trim the excess.

  3. 8

    Add the Filling

    Pour the ricotta filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the crust are golden brown.

  5. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries before serving.
