Italian dessert

For the shortcrust pastry, knead the flour, sugar, egg, butter, oil, and lemon zest into a compact mass. If the dough is too dry, add a little oil. If it’s too rich, add a little flour. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes. For the filling, mix the ricotta, sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest with a mixer. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat) or 175°C (fan oven). Grease a 12-hole muffin tin. Divide the shortcrust pastry into 12 balls. Line each hole with a ball and slightly raise the edges. Fill the tartlets about two-thirds full with the ricotta cream. Bake in the hot oven for about 18-20 minutes, until the ricotta cream has set and the pastry is golden brown. Before serving, top with chopped fruit and dust with powdered sugar.
