1 12 x 16 tart shell |
1 large egg yolk |
1 tablespoon(s) heavy cream or water |
1/4 cup(s) sanding sugar |

Directions:
1. Line a large mesh colander with a triple layer of cheesecloth & place over a larger bowl. Place ricotta in colander; transfer to refrigerator. Let ricotta drain at least 2 hours & up to overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in lower third. Roll out dough into a 12 x 16 rectangle (1/8 thick) on a piece of parchment. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet; freeze 10 minutes or chill 30 minutes. Stir together egg yolk & cream; brush on dough. Sprinkle with sanding sugar & almonds. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. (Tent edges with foil if they begin to overbrown.) Transfer to a wire rack & let cool completely, about 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, toss together cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice & salt. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
4. Just before serving, spread crust with ricotta. Top ricotta with cherry mixture, using a slotted spoon (reserve juices for serving, if desired). Sprinkle tart with lemon zest, cut into squares, & serve immediately.
