Categories     Pies

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb ricotta cheese (whole milk)
5 egg whites
1/2 pt heavy cream (1 cup)
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 pie crust, store bought or make your own

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • 2. Beat egg whites until frothy
  • 3. Add ricotta, sugar, cream & vanilla
  • 4. Mix well with electric mixer
  • 5. Pour into pie crust
  • 6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, depending on oven. Remove from oven & let cool. Refrigerate until pie sets. Serve with your favorite topping. I use frozen strawberries, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta cheese.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the excess dough around the edges.
  • To prevent the crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10 minutes before filling it.
  • Be sure to let the pie cool completely before slicing it. This will help the filling to set and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Serve the pie with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Ricotta pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give ricotta pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
