A classic recipe with a new twist. I used the idea of the ‘baked cassata’ to create a pistachio pastry topped with the classic Sicilian ricotta, sugar and chocolate drop cream. Instead of covering it completely, I created a tart, which I covered with chopped pistachio nuts to enhance even more taste from the pastry. I assure you that pistachio goes perfectly well with the ricotta cream; the crumbly pastry and the cream are a spectacular combination for the palate. So here it is: Pistachio tart with Ricotta cream and chocolate drops. User generated recipes have not been re-tested by Kenwood.
