Description
This pie I belong to the category of "adult" desserts, as often it like adults. This amazing recipe I saw in the book Jamie Oliver. Now he has become the favourite treat of all our friends. To be honest, this cake is not very budget, and products for it can be found everywhere. But if desired it can be adapted in its sole discretion. So, ricotta and mascarpone can be replaced more affordable curd cheese, vanilla pods - essence or vanilla, bitter chocolate, replace with milk. I represent the classic version. There is some magic in it, taste really amazing. You may have to try to make the cake exactly, you will not regret! Cooking time is given without baking, cooling the dough and freeze the cake.

Cooking
It looks like the set of products for preparation of shortcrust pastry.
We will prepare all products. Separate the whites from the yolks. Proteins we do not need. They either freeze or leave in the fridge for a diet of scrambled eggs for Breakfast.
We need lemon peel. I scraped it on a fine grater. It is important to clean off only the top yellow layer, white will taste bitter.
Extracted seeds from the vanilla pod. To do this, cut the pod lengthwise, and then with a knife as if to "clean up" the seeds inside. I pods then never throw out. They can be put in a closed jar of sugar for flavouring or to add to the pot, where preparing custard, pudding, jam, compote, mulled wine, etc. (all, where is the pod you can take out later).
Mix chopped softened butter, icing sugar and salt.
Of butter, RUB the flour, yolks, zest and vanilla seeds. When the dough will look like large crumbs, add the cold milk. If desired, you can replace the water. The amount of milk I have every time different, two to six tablespoons. You want the dough "grabbed", but remained loose at the same time.
Roll the dough into a ball. Note that you need to knead it as little as possible, otherwise it will lose its crispness. The aroma at the moment of kneading the dough is amazing, what happens when baking - not to pass words!
The dough to flatten and shape such that a loaf, thick and short. Wrap in plastic wrap and put into the fridge for at least an hour. This shortbread dough is just amazing! It can be used for other pies.
Cut the dough into thin pieces. These pieces lay out the shape, then lightly press to make a solid layer of dough.
Exposed edges to be cut with a sharp knife and sent the cake in the freezer for at least an hour.
Now for the decor. Remaining dough can be cut into strips and decorate the pie with them, but this time I cut out dough stars. They are sent in the fridge. Even after that the dough remains. I freeze and later use for biscuit or cake.
Frozen cake bake in a preheated 180 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. It needs slightly brown. Well frosted the cake you can bake without the beans as cargo.
Prepare the stuffing. That's what we need.
With oranges, remove the zest. Take out vanilla seeds.
Two eggs detachable whites from yolks. Leave one for coating.
Chop chocolate in small pieces.
Mix ricotta, mascarpone, powdered sugar, lemon zest, vanilla seeds and the egg yolks into a homogeneous mass.
Whip whites into a thick foam, which does not falls out when turned over.
Gently stir the whites with the main mixture. I do it in two steps, shifting the weight from the top down.
Spread filling in chilled crust. Level.
Sprinkle with chopped chocolate. Spread the embellishment. Sprocket grease with beaten egg and lightly sprinkle with icing sugar. Bake at 170 Dudush 45-60 minutes.
Magic cake is ready! Home by this time for yourself will gather on the breathtaking smell))) Bon appetit! Help yourself!
