Italian Easter Rice Pie image

***PLEASE NOTE I HAVE CORRECTED THE NUMBER OF PIES WHICH THIS RECIPE MAKES, FROM 2 TO 4... THANK YOU TO THE REVIEWERS FOR BRININGT HIS TO MY ATTENTION****Compilation of other recipes I've tried in the never ending quest to duplicate another one of my grandmother's recipes. Many make this with lemon zest/juice or candied citron. We always served this on Easter, it's not too sweet, and not too heavy either> Just right after a big Easter Dinner.

Time 1h

Yield 4 pies, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 prepared pie crusts
12 eggs
3 cups cooked white rice
3 lbs ricotta cheese
3 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided)

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 350 degrees and line 2 9" Pie Pans with the crusts, refrigerate and reserve.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the next 6 ingredients with a large spoon until thoroughly combined (no electric mixers here, it'll ruin the rice).
  • Divide filling between 4 prepared pie crusts, sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Bake about 45 minutes or until filling is set in the middle (no longer giggling).
  • Allow to cool completely before serving, this actually tastes best when refrigerated overnight.

This pie is delicious, but it's a bit too rich for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out dry and bland.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out great. I used a store-bought pie crust to save time.

I'm not usually a fan of rice pies, but this one was surprisingly delicious. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery.

This Italian Easter Rice Pie was a hit with my family! The flavors were amazing and the crust was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this again.
