Pineapple Ricotta Pie- Italian Style image

This is another Italian Easter favorite. Nice, but not too sweet. I buy two frozen Pie crusts and use one for the pie and the other I remove and flatten out, to cut into strips and make lattice pattern on top. Delicious! Enjoy!

  • In mixing bowl combine Ricotta, cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 egg and rum if you want. mix until smooth.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese. I always have a container of ricotta cheese in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.
