Italian Ricotta Pie
Report
This Italian ricotta pie recipe has a delicately flavored creamy ricotta filling beautifully encased in a sweet pie dough that's buttery, light and flaky. It's a classic dessert in Italian households, especially during the holiday season. The best part? You can easily make it at home with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients
- 1 disc pasta folla or pie dough cold
- 1 lb ricotta drained (*see note)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- whipped cream for serving
Notes
- If using store bought ricotta, first drain it in a fine mesh strainer lined with paper towels or cheesecloth, over top of another bowl, in the refrigerator overnight. It allows the ricotta to drain its liquid and get nice and thick, which will prevent the pie from being runny or getting soggy.
- Before you roll out your pasta frolla, let your pie dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help prevent shrinkage.
- Place the rolled-out pie crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to hold its shape before baking.
- Change up the flavor by adding some almond extract, orange zest, mini chocolate chips, or other flavorings if you choose.
- You'll know the baked pie is set if it only jiggles a tiny bit when you shake it gently. It will continue to set and firm up as it cools. Overbaking will result in a dry, crumbly pie filling.
- If your crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil or use a pie shield.
- Make sure to let the pie chill completely in the refrigerator for several hours before slicing into it. This allows the filling to be set properly and makes for cleaner slices.
