Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Creamy Ricotta Pie.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature to get that crust golden and delicious!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar (if you're using it), shortening, 2 eggs, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and salt. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms. It should be smooth and easy to handle.
Step 3
Take your dough and press it into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure to cover the bottom and sides evenly. Remember to save about 1 tablespoon of dough for later; you'll use it to create a lovely topping!
Step 4
In another bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, 3/4 cup of sugar (if desired), 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy, then pour it into your prepared pie crust.
Step 5
Now, take the reserved dough and divide it into three small balls. Flatten each ball and arrange them on top of the ricotta filling, creating a beautiful pattern.
Step 6
If you like, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of sugar over the top for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.
Step 7
Pop the pie into your preheated oven and bake for about 75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling has set nicely. The aroma will be irresistible!
Step 8
Once baked, let the pie cool down a bit before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill it for at least 3 hours to ensure it firms up perfectly. This step is crucial for the best texture!
