4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until they are foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup (75 mL) of the sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Stir one quarter of the egg whites into the ricotta mixture. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just blended. Pour the mixture into the crust.
