CREAMY PUMPKIN PIE WITH RICOTTA CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
• Beat ricotta cheese into lightly beaten eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Stir pumpkin, brown sugar, evaporated milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt into the cheese mixture until smooth; pour into the pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

PUMPKIN PIE WITH FARMERS CHEESE OR RICOTTA

Steps:

• Place einkorn flour, salt, sugar, if using, and butter in a mini food processor, pulse a couple of times until you see large crumbs.
• Add farmers cheese or ricotta, and process until dough starts to come together.
• Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and form a ball.
• Pre-heat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
• Roll the dough out to fit your pie pan; transfer it to the pie pan. Trim the edges with a knife, holding the knife parallel to the counter, reserve the trimmings to make leaves. Alternatively, you can shape the edges any way you prefer.
• Smooth the edges with your fingers.
• Combine the trimmings into a ball, roll it out, and make shapes using pie crust cutters, or cookie cutters. Repeat until all the dough is gone.
• Place a pie weight (or some parchment paper with a handful of dried beans) on top of the crust and bake for 10 minutes.
• Mix pie filling ingredients in a blender (I use Blendtec) until completely smooth; pour into the pie crust. Place the cutout shapes on top in any design you like. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, then cover with foil and bake 25 minutes longer.
• Cool completely before slicing.

RICOTTA PIE

Steps:

• To make the pie crust: Into a bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the shortening and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons of the ice water. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and toss to combine, adding more water, if necessary, to form a dough. Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic, until firm.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle 1/8-inch thick and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edge, prick the bottom, and chill while making the filling.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the ricotta with the sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and cinnamon. Stir in the candied fruit and chocolate chips. Pour the filling into the pie shell.
• Bake the pie for 45 minutes, or until just set. Let cool and chill.

RICOTTA-PUMPKIN MUFFINS WITH PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Core, peel, and dice apple. Place in a small bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon and 1 teaspoon sugar as if making apple pie. Set 'pie apples' aside until juice begins to run, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place pumpkin seeds in a coffee bean grinder and grind to a fine pulp. Place almonds in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to desired size, making chunks as large or small as you wish.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 17 muffin tin cups with paper wrappers.
• Mix together yogurt, ricotta cheese, pureed pumpkin, 1/2 cup of pie apples, applesauce, and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in 1 cup sugar.
• Mix together flour, wheat germ, wheat bran, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Stir in ground pumpkin seeds and smashed almonds; the batter will be very thick and stiff. Fill cupcake wrappers just to the top with batter; do not mound.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
