CREAMY RICOTTA PIE
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.

[email protected]This creamy ricotta pie was a hit at my last dinner party! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and creamy. I loved the subtle hint of lemon zest in the filling, and the pine nuts added a nice crunchy texture.
