Ricotta pie recipe needed from post around Easter time.
I'm so glad you loved it! Here's the recipes:
This is the sweet pie:
1 lb part-skim ricotta
4 oz light cream cheese (half a package)
1/2 cup of granulated splenda
2 tsp cinnamon (add more if you want -- I didn't measure)
1 tsp vanilla (I didn't measure this either)
2 eggs (I've also made it without the eggs and it's good that way too)
Mix all ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth. Pour into a greased baking dish or pie plate. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until the pie is firm. It's not an exact science. I sprinkled cocoa powder on mine after it was done.
I've also made a savory pie, which is so good that it's definitely going in my regular rotation! I bought a mini-muffin tin so I can make it in little bites.
1 lb part-skim ricotta
1 cup of 2% shredded cheese (any kind you want! I used mozzarella in one, and Italian blend in another)
4 to 8 oz of meat (I've used chicken Italian sausage for one, and lean deli ham in another)
2 eggs
Mix all ingredients with a big spoon, not the hand mixer. Pour into a greased baking dish or pie plate. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it! Heather D. (who's also on this board) told me she made it and added lemon pudding for a lemon flavor. I'm going to make a lemon one this weekend (although I think I'll probably use fresh lemons for it) and add some fresh raspberries or blueberries after it bakes. Yum!
