A simple dessert, quick to prepare and to create with different combinations. For the base I used almonds, rice and corn flour, I used a mixer and in a minute the dough is ready! But of course you can also prepare it by simply kneading with your hands. For the filling I used medlars, its slightly acidic flavor with the delicacy of ricotta is really good!
Finely chop the almonds with a blade mixer. Then add the flour and cold butter cut into small pieces in the mixer. Leave to mix for a few seconds. Also add the sugar, egg, lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
Leave to stir until the mixture begins to compact and form the first crumbs. Put the dough in the refrigerator.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. Clean the medlars and cut them into two or three pieces. In a bowl combine the ricotta, sugar and limoncello. Stir until a smooth cream is obtained.
Line a 20 cm cake tin with parchment paper. Fill with more than half the mixture and compact with your hands to form the base.
Spread the ricotta cream over the medlars. Crumble the dough left on the surface. Bake in a hot oven at 180 degrees for about 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing it from the mold.
