The pistachio and ricotta shortcrust pastry dessert is simple, quick, and creamy, a true delight!
The combination of ingredients is a winner, and the crunchy part of the shortcrust pastry enhances the delicacy of the filling.
Generally, I don’t buy packaged shortcrust pastry, but it was on sale, and I took advantage of it. The result was satisfying and clearly influenced the time it took to make the dessert…
In practice, we can call it a smart recipe because, in a short time, I have a delicious and very good dessert!
We could make the same preparation using almond cream or chocolate and hazelnut spread, but also a creamy jam, and the combination with shortcrust pastry and ricotta will surely be excellent!

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE RECIPE Pistachio and Ricotta Shortcrust Pastry Dessert
I preheat the oven to 356°F static mode and prepare the filling cream…
I mix the ricotta with the sugar in a bowl, blending it to make it smooth.
I unroll the package of ready-made shortcrust pastry and, keeping the parchment paper, line the tart pan with a removable and perforated base.
I trim the edges and spread the pistachio cream on the bottom, then cover it with the sweetened ricotta cream.
With the remaining pastry and a cookie cutter, I cut out some stars to decorate and cover the edge of the quick ricotta and pistachio tart.
I bake and let it cook for about 35/40 minutes or according to our home oven’s characteristics.
Enjoy your meal!
