This features a creamy, rich roasted almond butter-ricotta cheese filling in a no bake speculoos cookie crust. I have used homemade roasted almond butter rather than the peanut butter used in the original recipe, but any other nut butter will also work. Also, the recipe called for chocolate ganache as the topping, but I just simply garnished the tarts with a few drizzles of melted white chocolate and some chopped pistachio nuts.

- Finely crush cookies in a food processor or blender. Melt butter. In a bowl stir the melted butter and crushed cookies together. Firmly press down cookie mixture into two 12-cm tart pans or one 24-cm pan. Place in the refrigerator while making the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the ricotta cheese, almond butter, vanilla powder, coconut oil and liquid stevia together until fluffy with an electric mixer.
- Scrape the mixture into the tart shells and smooth the surface with a spatula. Return to the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave and drizzle over the tarts. Garnish with pistachio nuts.

Nice, I love this quite an easy way to a sweet treat Angie. Treasuring the recipe.
What a wonderful no bake tart! Love the ricotta and almond filling!
Total yum! So pretty, too! Ricotta makes the best desserts in my opinion, but then again so does anything with speculoos!
THis would be perfect to make, if I can get my hands on the ingrediants, on hot days . Using oven during hot days is like turning the whole house into one :)
Those tarts look amazing and irresistible! That is such a great idea.
Cheers,
Rosa

I definitely like your toppings better than the chocolate ganache.
Look absolutely beautiful Angie :)

This looks creamy and completely delicious, and no bake? You know me, baking isn't my thing so this is right up my alley for a company dessert.
Wonderful recipe, I love it. And I am definitely making the roasted almond butter, I make peanut butter all the time, but never tried to make almond buter.
Wow! This would disappear rapidly here! It's light, perfect for summer and no-bake is a bonus! Great recipe, Angie!
I know I commented on this already but don't see it. I love the sound of these and that cookie crust. These would be fun to make and even better to eat!
What a delicious looking tart Angie. I'm reading this with a coffee and I wish I could take a bite or two.
Thanks so much for sharing
