This sweet rice pie is a dessert traditionally served on Easter by many Italian families. But this version is so good, I make it more often than that.

Provided by Michele O'Sullivan

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 2h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ cup butter
½ cup white sugar
3 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup water
½ cup uncooked white rice
1 quart milk
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
6 eggs

Steps:

  • Stir the flour and baking powder together in a bowl; set aside. In a second large bowl, cream the butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 3 eggs, one at a time, and stir in the vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture to make a soft dough. Divide the dough in half and shape into two balls. Working on a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball to fit two 10 inch pie plates. Line the pie plates with the crust, and refrigerate until needed.
  • Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, and stir in the rice. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Stir in the milk. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, beat the ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 6 eggs together in a mixing bowl until smooth and frothy. Stir in the cooled rice mixture until evenly blended. Pour into the pie shells.
  • Bake pies in preheated oven until the filling is set and tops are golden brown, about 90 minutes. Cool on racks.

Tips:

  • For a smooth and lump-free ricotta filling, make sure to blend the ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for about 10-15 minutes before adding the ricotta filling.
  • If you want a golden brown crust, brush the edges of the pie crust with an egg wash before baking.
  • For a more flavorful pie, use a combination of different cheeses in the filling, such as ricotta, cream cheese, and Parmesan.
  • To add a touch of sweetness to the pie, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before serving.

With its creamy and velvety filling, crispy crust, and versatile flavor combinations, the Ricotta Cheese Pie is a delectable treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
