CREAMY RICOTTA PIE

Creamy Ricotta Pie image

This is a creamy pie, not a dense cheesecake. For crust-challenged individuals (like myself), this is for you. The crust is cookie-like. Whenever I am invited to visit friends and ask if I can bring something, they always request this pie.

RICOTTA PIE

Ricotta Pie image

This pie is delicious and sooo easy. Addictive too! I've found that to fill a 9" pie shell, I need to make another 1/2 recipe in order to fill the shell. Sometimes you will have a little left over, so either you can fill a few custard cups or make little pies!

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST
1 cup(s) finely ground vanilla wafers (about 35 nilla vanilla wafers)
2 tablespoon(s) granulated sugar
3 tablespoon(s) butter, melted
FOR THE FILLING
15 ounce(s) whole milk ricotta cheese
3 ounce(s) cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
2 tablespoon(s) self rising flour
3 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon(s) finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon(s) orange flavored liqueur (grand mariner)

Steps:

Make The Crust: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350F. Have ready an ungreased 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
In a medium bowl, mix the cookie crumbs and sugar with a fork until well blended.
Drizzle the melted butter over the crumbs and mix with the fork or your fingers until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Put the crumbs in the tart pan and use your hands to spread the crumbs so that they coat the bottom of the pan and start to climb the sides.
Use your fingers to pinch and press some of the crumbs around the inside edges of the pan to cover the sides evenly and create a wall about a 1/4 inch thick.
Redistribute the remaining crumbs evenly over the bottom of the pan and press firmly to make a compact layer(a metal measuring cup with straight sides and flat base is good for this)
Bake the crust until it smells nutty and fragrant and is lightly browned, about 10 minutes
Set the baked crust on a rack and let it cool.
Make The Filling and Bake the Tart: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350F
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta & cream cheese. Using an electric mixture, beat on medium speed until well blended and no lumps remain, about 3 minutes.
Add the sugar & flour and continue beating until well blended, about 1 minute.
Add the egg yolks, orange zest & orange liqueur. Beat until just incorporated.
Use a rubber spatula to scrape the filling into the crust and spread the filling evenly.
Bake the tart until the filling barely jiggles when the pan is nudged, 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
Refrigerate the tart in the pan until chilled and firm, 2-3 hours.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta cheese.
If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the ricotta cheese and sugar together with a fork until smooth.
Be sure to chill the pie crust before baking. This will help it to hold its shape.
Bake the pie until the center is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This creamy ricotta pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
