Crumbled ricotta and chocolate. Probably this recipe is different from what you know, because l & #8217; I have taken from the family cookbook, handwritten by my mother who inherited it from my grandmother l & #8217; and she in turn from my great-grandmother. I've never tried a & #8217; other chocolate and ricotta crumble recipe, but I know many use butter instead of lard. Well, it can be done, but the flavor changes immensely. This cheesecake and chocolate is a sweet simple, rustic and good, that for me and my brother was one of the joys of Sunday. The crumbled, together with Apple Pie, the baked cassata, the cream tart and jam, the Torta della nonna, It is one of the desserts that bring me back to childhood.
My tips for a perfect crumbled
The crumbled ricotta (there are those who call it sbrisolona, but it's a term used more in the North) it is easy to prepare, you just have to be careful slurry phase: you do not get a compact dough, pressing the mixture as for the pastry, but a coarse compound in large crumbs (hence the name). Do not crush even when distributed into the pan, let it just drop. I recommend you prepare the crumbled ricotta with a day in advance, because the rest makes it definitely more good. You can keep it, blanket and at room temperature (in an unheated environment) for 3-4 days, but will definitely before.
As for the stuffing, among the alternatives I know that it is very fashionable one with Nutella, but I'd rather prepare at home a nice chocolate ganache and stuff it with that. Or with a baked custard, or with jam, or with fruit such as that, according to me amazing, with blueberry and custard. In short, Customized this recipe as you like and have a look at all my CRUMBLED CAKES RECIPES.

Now, if you have no taboos about using lard, I would recommend you try the original recipe. Maybe, After you do it again with butter, so you'll see the differences. Let me know what you decide.
