STEP 1: Prep your ingredients

STEP 2:  Add the sugar, water, oil, and orange zest to a large mixing bowl and mix well with a spatula.

STEP 3: Mix wet and dry ingredients until the liquids absorb the flour without overmixing.

STEP 4: Compact the dough with your hands for a few seconds until it comes together. Take about ¾ of the dough and transfer it to the tart pan. Flatten it with your hands to cover the bottom and sides.

STEP 5: Prick the bottom and sides with a fork.

STEP 6: To a bowl, add the ricotta, orange zest, mini dark chocolate chips, sugar, and vanilla extract.

STEP 7: Whisk until well combined.

STEP 8: Pour the ricotta mixture into the crust and flatten it with the back of a spoon.

STEP 9: On a worktop dusted with flour, roll out the leftover dough thinly, and cut out nine stripes with a sharp knife or pastry wheel cutter.

STEP 10: Arrange the stripes on top of the tart, 5 in one direction and the other 4 in the opposite direction.

STEP 11: Bake in the oven at 350°F or 180°C for about 45 minutes.

Let cool down completely (we recommend 3 hours if you want a perfect slice like in the pictures) before taking it out of the tart pan and transferring it onto a pie plate.
