Crostata di formaggio

Crostata di formaggio, or Italian cheese tart, is a delightful dessert that balances a rich, creamy filling with a perfectly flaky crust. The base is typically made from pasta frolla (shortcrust pastry), offering a buttery and crumbly texture. The filling often consists of a blend of creamy cheeses, such as ricotta, mascarpone, or even a mix of Parmesan and other soft cheeses. It is sometimes lightly sweetened or infused with subtle flavors like nutmeg, lemon zest, or vanilla.
