If you lot nation me I’m close to larn a acre of cheesecake, I’m picturing something tall, dense, sweet, as well as real rich. Those adjectives are why people gild cheesecake inwards the commencement place.

That’s why this lighter, less sweetness variation is beingness called a ricotta pie. So much of cooking for people is managing expectations, as well as a recipe’s elevate is a large business office inwards that. Moving by semantics, I actually enjoyed this cannoli-inspired accept on the rustic Italian classic.

I played or thus amongst a hybrid pie-dough/cookie crust, amongst flavors borrowed from a cannoli shell, every bit good every bit studded the filling amongst chocolate as well as candied orange; too mutual features of that other ricotta-based dessert. If you lot don’t desire to mess or thus amongst my crust, or you’re nonetheless trying to create the paleo thing, you lot tin skip that step, as well as simply butter as well as flour the pan first. Your favorite graham cracker crust volition operate every bit well, specially amongst some dry reason almonds tossed in.

For this size pie (9-inch), you lot could utilization betwixt a 1/4 as well as 1/2-cup of sugar, depending on your tastes. I used a 1/3-cup, which is perfect for me, but I’m non you, thus conform accordingly. Same goes for the grated citrus, as well as chocolate. I actually promise you lot laissez passer on this non bad ricotta pie a attempt soon. Enjoy!
