RICOTTA PIE
Ricotta pie is an old Italian pie with a sweet citrus crust. A fantastic dessert! Slightly sweet, the cherry and orange flavors shine bright. It is so moist with a creamy ricotta center. We ate the pie chilled and it was perfect.

Steps:
- 1. For the crust: Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Combine with orange zest and shortening. Add egg yolks one at a time. Work with hands until dough is manageable. Add milk only to the desired consistency. Form into a ball and cover for 30 minutes.
- 2. Press dough into the bottom (and very slightly up sides) of a deep 10" springform pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 3. For the filling: Beat ricotta and sugar. Then add eggs 1 at a time mixing until incorporated.
- 4. Add orange juice (or vanilla) and reserved maraschino cherry juice. Mix until well blended.
- 5. Fold in, by hand, the cherries and grated chocolate.
- 6. Pour filling in crust. Optional: Grate some extra chocolate on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour until top lightly browned. After an hour if the center is still jiggly, continue cooking for an additional 15 - 30 minutes.
- 7. Turn off the oven. Cool in the oven with the door open.
- 8. Serve chilled or room temp.
