Categories     Cheese     Fruit     Lemon     Easter

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups (divided) white sugar
3/4 cup cold butter, cut into chunks
7 (6 +1) eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup water
1/2 cup white rice, uncooked
2 cups whole milk
15 ounces (1 container) ricotta cheese, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
15 ounces (1 can) crushed pineapple, well drained

Steps:

  • Grease two 9-inch pie plates.
  • Pulse flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a food processor several times until combined.
  • Place butter into the flour mixture and pulse just until butter resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in 1 egg and vanilla extract; process until dough holds together, about 30 seconds.
  • Place dough on a well-floured work surface, divide in half, and roll each piece into a 9-inch round crust. Fit crusts into the prepared pie plates and freeze for 1 hour.
  • Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; stir in rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until rice has absorbed the water, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir milk into the rice and bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, stirring often, about 10 more minutes. Set rice mixture aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Beat ricotta cheese, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 6 eggs together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in cooked rice mixture and crushed pineapple until thoroughly combined.
  • Divide the filling between the 2 cold pie crusts. Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the tops are golden brown, about 90 minutes. Cool on racks.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes that don't require a lot of ingredients or steps.

The Easter Rice Pie was a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices.
