Looking for that ONE must have Easter dessert? This Traditional Sicilian Easter tart starts with a buttery crust that's filled with a creamy ricotta-based custard that's not overly sweet. Lemon, orange, vanilla and almond flavoring all combine for cheesecake-like filling that's citrusy and fresh. Chocolate chips add a bit of texture and visual interest.
