Steps:
- Preheat the oven to fan 140C/conventional 160C/gas 3. Tip all the ingredients for the base, except for the egg, into a food processor and blend until like breadcrumbs. Add the egg and blend again to make a paste. Scrape onto the base of a greased 24cm loose-bottomed springform tin, spread with a spatula then bake for 25 minutes until risen and just set.
- Meanwhile beat the ricotta in a bowl with the eggs, soured cream, sugar and vanilla, then when the base has had its 25 minutes, take it out of the oven. Quickly scatter the apricots over the base and pour the cheese mixture on top. Return to the oven for 50 minutes more until the mixture has set and is starting to turn golden round the edges.
- Run a knife round the cake to release it from the sides of the tin then cool and chill. You can make this a day ahead.
- Transport the tin covered with cling film or foil, then turn out and dust with icing sugar when you get there.

RICOTTA-APRICOT TART
We used fresh apricots in this creamy tart, but fresh peaches or nectarines would be just as suitable. The smooth, sweet filling, enriched with ricotta cheese and just a bit of heavy cream, contrasts appealingly with the tart stone fruit.

Steps:
- Crust: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. Beat in the egg and half the flour, then add the remaining flour and mix until evenly blended. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a thick disk, wrap it well, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Heavily flour your work surface and the dough. Roll the dough to fit a 10-inch tart pan or a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Place the dough in the pan, and prick it all over with the tines of a fork. (The crust will be blind-baked -- baked without any filling -- but it doesn't need to be weighed down with beans or rice or pie weights, as long as you prick it thoroughly with a fork.).
- Bake the crust in a preheated 425°F oven for 10 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350°F, and bake it until it's golden brown, about another 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and cool it while making the filling.
- Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, cream, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, vanilla, Fiori di Sicilia or orange oil, and flour. Set aside.
- Peel and slice the apricots. To quickly peel apricots, fill a large pan with hot water. Bring it to a boil, and place the apricots in the pan. Bring back to a boil, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the apricots from the hot water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water. The skins should slip off easily.
- Assembly and Baking: Stone and slice the apricots. Pour the ricotta mixture into the tart shell. Place about 10 slices of apricot over the filling; they'll sink partially -- it's OK. Bake the tart in a preheated 350°F oven for about 45 minutes, until the filling looks mostly set.
- Sauce: Place the remaining sliced apricots into a medium-sized saucepan. Add the brown sugar, water, and brandy, if you're using it. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the apricots are cooked through and the sauce starts to thicken. Remove the sauce from the heat, and transfer it to a serving dish. It can remain at room temperature while the tart cools.
- Let the ricotta tart cool for several hours before cutting it into wedges. Spoon the sauce over each piece before serving, or serve it on the side. Refrigerate any leftover tart.

Steps:
- For the pastry crust: Mix 1 1/3 sticks softened butter with the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, 1 Tbsp. rum, 1 egg, and 1 egg yolk. Combine the ingredients well. Add the flour, the cornstarch, and the lemon zest. Knead to obtain a soft and even dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- For the filling: Mix the ricotta until soft and creamy. Beat the remaining egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp. Disaronno liqueur. Stir in the almonds. Whisk in the ricotta.
- For the caramelized apricots: Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Caramelize 1/4 cup sugar in a pan with 1 Tbsp. butter; add the apricots and baste with 2 Tbsp. Disaronno liqueur. Cook for a few minutes; turn off the heat and let rest.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cover the dough with a sheet of parchment paper, fill the pan with dried beans, and bake at 350°F for around 15 minutes. Remove the beans and parchment paper and bake for another 5 minutes to let the crust dry out. Remove the crust from the oven, fill it with the cream, and bake again at 350°F for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the caramelized apricots and their juice. Let the tart cool and serve.
