Fresh Pineapple Ricotta Pie image

A creamy pineapple pie in an almond cookie crust. Cook time does not include freezer time. I used drained, canned pineapple packed in light syrup rather than fresh. Can't wait to try it again as written. Recipe credit - Family Circle July 12, 2005 issue. I classified this as both Italian & Hawaiian since it seems to cross cultural lines. How about Haw-talian? ;-)

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for ricotta cheese. I think cream cheese would be a better choice.

I'm allergic to pineapple, so I used peaches instead. It turned out great!

The crust was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I'll try a different crust recipe next time.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The ricotta filling is so smooth and creamy, and the pineapple adds a nice tartness. I highly recommend this recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of ricotta cheese, but this pie changed my mind. The ricotta was light and fluffy, and it paired perfectly with the sweet pineapple. The crust was also top-notch.

This pineapple ricotta pie was a delightful surprise! The combination of tangy pineapple and creamy ricotta was perfectly balanced, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.
