Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1 pound ricotta, preferably fresh
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten, plus 3 large egg yolks
Pinch of coarse salt
1/3 cup chopped candied orange zest
1/3 cup chopped dried cherries
1/4 teaspoon anise seed, ground
1 recipe Pasta Frolla dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Cherry Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment; spray parchment. Mix together ricotta, confectioners' sugar, yolks, salt, zest, cherries, and anise in a bowl.
  • Let dough sit at room temperature 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out smaller disk of dough 1/8 inch thick; using pan as guide, cut out an 8-inch round. Chill until firm. Meanwhile, roll out larger disk to an 11-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick; fit into bottom and up sides of pan, pressing and patching dough as needed.
  • Spread filling over dough. Fold sides of dough over filling. Brush beaten egg over folded sides. Top with 8-inch disk; brush with beaten egg and sprinkle evenly with pistachios and granulated sugar. Chill 30 minutes. Bake on a baking sheet until golden, about 1 hour (tent with foil if browning too quickly). Let cool completely on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cut into wedges; serve with sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out terrible. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was a bit too dense for my liking.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but other than that it was very good.

I'm not a big fan of ricotta pie, but this one was really good! The filling was light and fluffy, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

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 crust is perfectly golden brown.

This ricotta pie was a hit with my family! The creamy filling and flaky crust were perfect. I added a touch of lemon zest to the filling for extra flavor.
