Servings: persons

500 g flour
5 egg yolks
1 orange, zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups butter, unsalted
200 g caster sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Filling
4 egg yolks
180 g sugar
60 g flour
500 ml milk
300 g ricotta cheese

1
Prepare pastry for the crust by mixing all ingredients in food processes until just combined. Chill dough for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
2
Prepare the filling by lightly whisking the yolks and sugar, then sift in flour, mixing carefully to keep lumps from forming. Add milk in a thin stream, stirring gently.
3
Once mixture is smooth, gently heat it, while stirring carefully, until it begins to thicken. Once it reaches a very slow boil, count to 120 while stirring gently and it is done.
4
Transfer mixture into a bowl and let it cool throughly. Mix ricotta into it.
5
Preheat oven to 180u00b0C.
6
Roll out dough and use half of it to line a 10 inch fluted pie dish. Pour mixture into the pan and cover with remaining rolled pastry, sealing edges down firmly.
7
Decorate by whisking egg white and bushing it over the top of the pastry and scatter almonds over it. Bake for approximately 1 hour, let it cool and serve.
