Ricotta and Chocolate Tart

The ricotta and chocolate tart is a delicious and easy recipe to make, requiring only a few simple ingredients. I used a butter pastry without yeast to make it slightly crunchy on the outside and very soft on the inside thanks to the creaminess of the ricotta. The ricotta tart always wins everyone over.

Let’s start baking.
