Dear Family, today I propose a simple recipe for Valentine's Day: heart cookies with shortcrust pastry ricotta cheese with only 4 ingredients you have at home and a greedy filling of jam, hazelnut or cream of your choice. Shortcrust pastry with ricotta is really simple and fast, as well as very fragrant, it is easily worked to obtain some perfect hearts!
For this recipe as you see in the ingredient notes, I used a mix for desserts, with this modular process you can add flour if necessary, so you should be able to get the pastry even with other mixes. Obviously the final result always changes in consistency, if you change brand or type!
Of course, by choosing lactose-free milk and ricotta, you can offer heart-shaped cookies even to those with this intolerance!
Obviously, in this case, you must also pay attention to the filling is lactose-free!
Of course the fillings and toppings must respect personal tastes!
It can range from classic hazelnut or marmalade with hazelnut creams, pistachios or almond, and then complete at will with a shower of grain hazelnuts or pistachios or rapé coconut.
Clearly all these ingredients must be combined with each other: I find the combination of jam-dried fruit and hazelnut-coconut rapè right, but you are free to propose what you like best!
Absolutely yes… You just have to lengthen the cooking, according to the yield of your oven and the filling.
