Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320°F.
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, cubes of butter, 1 egg, 2 egg yolks, and lemon zest.
- Mix the ingredients rapidly to create a stiff ball of dough.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- In another mixing bowl, add the ricotta, sugar, and two egg yolks and mix together until the yolks are completely blended into the sugar and ricotta and the mixture is smooth.
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add it to the ricotta filling.
- Add the brandy to the filling and mix. Place the filling in the refrigerator.
- Take the pasta frolla (dough) from the refrigerator and spread ⅔ of it onto a lightly floured pastry board.
- Grease a 10-inch cake pan with butter.
- Press the dough into the cake pan and cut off the excess dough that hangs over the edges. Using a fork, pierce the bottom of the dough in several places.
- Spread the ricotta and chocolate filling over the dough.
- Use the remaining dough to create a lattice pattern on the surface of the filling.
- Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let sit until cool. Place in the refrigerator until chilled and serve.
