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 rest makes it much better. You can keep it, blanket and at room temperature (in an unheated environment) for 3-4 days, but will definitely before.

With regard to the stuffing, among the alternatives I know that it is very fashionable that of the Nutella, but I prefer to 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.
