Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). In a bowl, mix the flour, beaten egg, sugar, baking powder, and margarine until a soft, smooth dough forms. Add a little more flour if it feels too sticky.
- 2
Press the dough evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides of a greased springform pan. Set aside.
- 3
Blend the ricotta, condensed milk, cornstarch, sugar, and milk until completely smooth. Pour the mixture over the prepared crust.
- 4
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the filling is set and the crust edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature.
- 5
Combine the blackberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes until a light syrup forms.
- 6
Pour the warm blackberry compote over the cooled tart. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then slice and serve cold.
💡 Chef's Tip
Run a thin knife around the edge before releasing the springform for cleaner slices. Frozen blackberries work just as well — thaw and drain them thoroughly before making the compote.
