How to Make Ricotta Torte
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 15 ounces (425g) ricotta cheese, 3 large eggs, ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier, Amaretto). Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add ½ cup (60g) slivered almonds, ½ cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, and the zest of 1 lemon. Gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the ricotta mixture into an unbaked 9-inch tart shell.
- Create a lattice top by rolling out a strip of pie crust and weaving it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the lattice top with the egg wash.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
