Petra Galler’s Silky Ricotta, Honey & Yoghurt Tart Recipe

Ricotta and honey is an absolutely classic flavour pairing and one of my personal favourites. This tart is gorgeous, really light and beautifully silky in texture.

The subtle warming spice in the pastry adds a great touch, and that flavour, coupled with the citrus zest in the filling, is a real match made in heaven.

When it comes to the ricotta, I highly recommend using a good-quality buffalo milk ricotta. It tends to be smoother and creamier than the cow’s milk counterpart, with a slightly sweeter flavour.
