Pistachio and Ricotta Shortcrust Pastry Dessert

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!
