RICOTTA PIE!!

EASTER RICOTTA PIE!!!

EASTER RICOTTA PIE

Happy Spring!!!! Alexia would like to share with you her authentic family recipe for Easter Ricotta Pie! This recipe has been passed down in her family from generation to generation. Her late Grandmother Mama Laura, her Dad's Mom always made this delicious treat on Easter. Alexia's Mom has carried on with this Easter tradition year after year. Everyone looks forward to Nanny's Ricotta pie at Easter time.So today, Alexia would like to share with you this wonderful, festive and authentic recipe.

(DIRECTIONS)
CRUST:
1/2 cup Crisco (All vegetable shortening)
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons of whole milk
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour

Mix by hand and add more milk as needed to adjust the consistency.
The dough will be sticky and is essentially the consistency of a cookie crust.
To make it easier to roll out the dough, place your dough in wax paper and refrigerate for about 1/2 hour. (Prior to rolling out).
To roll out your dough use a pastry cloth sprinkled with flour and a pastry sleeve for your rolling pin to make it easier to roll out.
Once your dough is rolled out, place your pie plate upside down onto the dough, leave about 1 inch around and cut off excess dough.
(Reserve excess dough for later - see below). Turn the pie plate upright now and get ready to start your filling.

FILLING:
2 pounds of whole milk ricotta cheese
1 dozen egg yolks
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
10 tablespoons of sugar
5 tablespoons of flour
1 quart of whole milk
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

Combine all ingredients ( EXCEPT THE RICOTTA ) into the large pan.
Cook over medium heat until there is a slow boil, stir continuously the mixture will continue to thicken as it slowly boils.
Cool.
When cooled, fold in your ricotta cheese.
Stir until relatively smooth.
Pour mixture into your pie crust.
Use remaining pie dough to make 1 inch strips to basket weave across the top You can use a knife or pastry cutting tool.
Bake 350 degrees until the crust is browned (For approximately 45 minutes to an hour filling should be soft).


Wishing all of our #alexiafoodees a very Happy Easter, Buona Pasqua! GOD BLESS!

This is so easy to make!! Alexia makes this for a lot of birthday party's and special occasions it is always a knock your socks off hit!!!! "The people love it" ENJOY!!!! ****PLUS VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE "NO BAKE CRUST"


Ingredients:
1 box Graham Cracker Crumbs

OK so make the Graham Cracker Crust according to the directions on the box. (You will have some remaining crumbs so you can make a small one to have some night). Alexia calls it the "MINI ME"

Pour your Graham cracker crust into the spring form pan.
Work up the edges with a spatula and make a tight thin layer on all sides and the bottom.

(Alexia uses a pastry spatula for the sides and a potato masher for the bottom).

Make sure it very tight so it doesn't crumble - not too thick (keep pressing it) Freeze the crust for about 2 hours until frozen.

After it is frozen you can start layering. Make sure your ice cream is room temp and add it in.

Next, crush the nutter butters cover the ice cream with it, add dollops of hot fudge and peanut butter.

Freeze for about an hour.

Next, add your next ice cream flavor top with caramel, Reese's cups, chocolate jimmy's, Reese's pieces, and nutter butters!!! Waaaaaaa Laaaaaa!!!!
