Orange & Ricotta Slice
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Short Crust Pastry
- 350g Fresh Ricotta
- 1/4 cup Almond Meal
- 1/4 cup Castor Sugar
- Zest of one Orange (or 1/2 lemon zest 1/2 orange zest is lovely)
- 1/2 cup of good quality Marmalade (we have a fabulous recipe just here)
- 2 eggs
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Line your 30x20cm tray with baking paper, leaving some over hang on lengthways sides.
- Cut to fit and press in your sheet of short crust pastry. It should cover the whole base of the tray.
- Pre bake your pastry for ten minutes. Cool Slightly
- In a bowl mix together well the Ricotta, Almond Meal, Sugar, Eggs and Zest. You can use a processor but i find its pretty quick and easy to beat by hand. Leave mixture to rest
- Now onto your pre baked pastry spoon and spread evenly your marmalade all over the base.
- Top with the Ricotta Mixture gently smoothing over so its fairly even.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until filling has started to set and it starts to change colour around the edges.
- Remove and allow to cool for ten minutes in tray
- Lift the slice out using the baking paper and cool completely on rack or board.
- Dust with icing sugar to serve
