Looking for a sweet citrus.
A pastry with ricotta flavored with lemon ... be gone, so far away that I was surprised to have found a drawer in the memory, with a name-that-fiadone a check on Google turned out to be just such a cake.
I had eaten in Corsica, during a vacation many years ago, with my "boyfriend of the time" in a beautiful and charming inn in the town of Corte, in the heart of the island.
citrus flavor that I had hit, but I never managed to reproduce the cake exactly as I remembered. So take this latest attempt to be good, 'because the recipes found on the net I did not remember what the Court and then I might as well make something up. Not the fiadone!
The result you see below: The photo I put it later, because I wanted to first explain my yesterday's adventure ...
I decided to make a curd of mandarin oranges (and given that the preparation Curd is usually delicious) I said to myself might as well use the Thermomix, which needs a certain amount of ingredients.
Here, it happens rarely, but its rarely, a patch with the Thermomix recipe, but the clementine curd is one of them: not just thickened, so that finally we've had to add a teaspoon of cornstarch ...
addition, as preparation for a right of cake it would take at least 500 grams. ricotta, but I was only 200, the idea was to make a layer with the ricotta and one with the Kurds, to close as a glaze. But, alas, this does not thicken your curd and time get on track to go to lunch which was intended for such a sweet, was getting closer ...
... What do I say to myself, vabhé, the sweet "fiadone - style" will be for the next one, today we make a sort of tarte, so subtle that we hardly saw her and the curd (which was not yet ready to fire at the moment ) we'll put it next on your plate.
This is the result, that in spite of all vicissitudes, became really appreciate it!
