Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry
- 1 cup cup ricotta
- 1 cup cup custard cream
- 5.3 oz oz cooked wheat
- 1.4 oz oz candied fruits
- 0.3 cup cup sugar
- 1 tsp tsp orange flavor (orange blossom)
Preparation
Prepare the custard cream HERE and let it cool.
For the recipe, I used cooked wheat; if you want to use dry wheat, you must soak and then cook it.
Put the drained ricotta in a bowl, add the sugar, and mix; then add the flavor and candied fruits, mix everything.
Add the wheat, then the cream, and mix everything well.
Unroll the puff pastry and place it in a 9-inch cake pan, making the edge as well.
Prick the pastry with a fork and pour the filling, then bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 25 minutes.
Bon appétit
