Instructions
  1. 1
    Prepare the crust:
      • In a bowl, mix sifted flour with a pinch of salt.
      • Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a knife or your hands until the mixture resembles wet sand.
      • Add 100 g of ricotta or farmer’s cheese and mix until a dough forms.
      • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer to chill.
  2. 2
    Make the cream cheese filling:
      • In a bowl, combine cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and sugar.
      • Mix until smooth, then add the semolina and stir to combine. Set aside.

    Prepare the peaches:
      • Slice the peaches thinly and drizzle with the juice of half a lemon to prevent browning. Set aside.

    Assemble the tart:
      • Remove the dough from the freezer, place it on parchment paper, and roll it out to about 0.5 cm thickness.
      • Transfer the dough (with the parchment paper) into a 22 cm tart pan. Press the dough evenly into the base and edges.
      • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
      • Arrange the peach slices on top in a decorative pattern.
      • Fold any excess dough from the edges over the fruit to form a rustic edge.
