Nutter Butter Cookies
2 - 1.5 quart containers of your favorite ice cream
(Alexia uses Breyers Cookie Dough and Chocolate Peanut Butter)
Spring form pan
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!!!!

Hello everyone! 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.
Wishing all of our #alexiafoodees a very Happy Easter, Buona Pasqua! GOD BLESS!
Crust:
1/2 cup Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening
1 cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons of 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 pie plate upright now and get ready to start your filling.
Filling:
2 pounds of 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 slow boils.
Cool.
When cooled fold in your Ricotta Cheese.
Stir until relatively smooth.
Poor 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 crust is browned (For approximately 45 minutes to an hour filling should be soft).
