Description
A delicious ricotta pie perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese (I prefer whole-milk ricotta)
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup honey (or granulated sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange rind (from about 1 medium orange)
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon rind (from about 1 medium lemon)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 prepared unbaked pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the crust to a 9-inch pie plate, pressing into the bottom of the plate and up the sides.
- Add the remaining ingredients to a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Dust with additional cinnamon, if desired.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pie is set and the crust is lightly golden brown. (The filling puffs up a little toward the end of baking and then will settle back down as it cools.)
- Place the pie onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Slice and serve, or cover and refrigerate, then serve.
Notes
- This pie is best served chilled.
- Storing leftovers in the refrigerator can enhance the flavor.
