Geppetto's Ricotta Cheese Pie image

Very rich. In the late 70's we would go to Georgetown in D.C. just for Geppetto's Ricotta Cheese Pie and coffee. I found this recipe in the 80's after moving to Indianapolis; it was attributed to Bon Appetite magazine. Tastes just as I remember. Bring on the coffee!

This ricotta cheese pie is a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese. It's also a delicious and easy dessert to make. I like to serve it with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.

This ricotta cheese pie was just okay. The ricotta filling was a bit bland, and the crust was a bit dry. I probably won't make this again.
