8. Divide shortcrust dough in half and roll out half on a floured work surface with a rolling pin.
9. Place the dough in a buttered pan with some parchment paper on the bottom.
10. Poke a few holes with a fork, then make a thin layer of crumbled cookies.
11. Now fill up with the ricotta cream cheese you made earlier and sprinkle with some more biscuits.
12. Lastly, top with more shortcrust pastry, sealing the edges, and poke a few holes in the top.
13. Bake in a ventilated oven preheated to 175 degrees for about 50 minutes.
