PINEAPPLE RICOTTA PIE- ITALIAN STYLE



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!

FRESH PINEAPPLE RICOTTA PIE



Fresh Pineapple Ricotta Pie image

A creamy pineapple pie in an almond cookie crust. Cook time does not include freezer time. I used drained, canned pineapple packed in light syrup rather than fresh. Can't wait to try it again as written. Recipe credit - Family Circle July 12, 2005 issue. I classified this as both Italian & Hawaiian since it seems to cross cultural lines. How about Haw-talian? ;-)

1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Tips:
