Ricotta Pie With Waffle Cone Crust Recipes

RICOTTA PIE

Steps:

• In a food processor combine the dry ingredients and pulse a few times.
• Add the cut-up butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse ground meal.
• Add the slightly beaten egg and pulse until the dough starts coming together.
• On a lightly floured wooden board, turn out the dough and form into a smooth disc, by pressing dough together.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl (of a stand mixer) beat the ricotta on low speed with the paddle attachment until smooth (approx 30 seconds). Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times.
• Slowly add the sugar and continue to beat for another 30 seconds or so.
• Add the lemon zest, cinnamon, liquor, and 1 egg.
• Beat until the egg is properly incorporated. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Continue to add one egg at a time, making sure to properly incorporate into the mixture and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
• Set aside while you roll out your dough.
• Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Place oven rack to bottom third.
• Roll out the dough to fit your pie plate (9-inch). The thickness should be about 1/8 of an inch. Carefully fold over and fit into your pie pan.
• Pour the filling.
• Optional step: Decorate with strips of dough and brush tops of dough strips with milk.
• Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the center filling is set. Place foil on the edge of crust to prevent over-browning.
• Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Refrigerate until serving.

DOUBLE-CRUSTED RICOTTA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment; spray parchment. Mix together ricotta, confectioners' sugar, yolks, salt, zest, cherries, and anise in a bowl.
• Let dough sit at room temperature 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out smaller disk of dough 1/8 inch thick; using pan as guide, cut out an 8-inch round. Chill until firm. Meanwhile, roll out larger disk to an 11-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick; fit into bottom and up sides of pan, pressing and patching dough as needed.
• Spread filling over dough. Fold sides of dough over filling. Brush beaten egg over folded sides. Top with 8-inch disk; brush with beaten egg and sprinkle evenly with pistachios and granulated sugar. Chill 30 minutes. Bake on a baking sheet until golden, about 1 hour (tent with foil if browning too quickly). Let cool completely on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cut into wedges; serve with sauce.

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.
• Filling:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 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 PIE (OLD ITALIAN RECIPE)

Steps:

• Beat the 12 eggs, 2 cups sugar and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Stir in the ricotta cheese and the chocolate chips, if using (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and 1 cup sugar together. Cut in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in 4 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Divide dough into 4 balls, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two deep-dish pie plates.
• Roll out 2 of the balls to fit into the pie pans. Do not make the crust too thick, as it will expand during cooking. Do not flute the edges of the dough. Roll out the other 2 balls of dough and cut each into 8 narrow strips for the top of the crust. (Alternately, you can use cookie cutters and place the cutouts on the top of the pies.)
• Pour the ricotta filling evenly into the pie crusts. Top each pie with 8 narrow strips of dough or cookie cut-outs. Brush top of pie with milk for shine, if desired. Place foil on the edge of crust.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes; remove foil. Rotate pies on the rack so they will bake evenly. Continue to bake until a knife inserted in the center of each pie comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes more. Cool completely on wire racks. Refrigerate until serving.

WAFFLE CONE ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using an ice cream scoop, remove three large scoops ice cream to a plate. Place the plate in the freezer and return the gallon to the freezer.
• Add 9 of the waffle cones to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the cones become a mix of mostly crumbs with a few larger chunks here and there. Pulse in the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch nonstick springform pan. Bake for 5 minutes. Let cool completely, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the rest of the ice cream from the freezer to start to soften it a little bit.
• Meanwhile, put the white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments until melted and smooth. (This time will vary based on your microwave.) Working one at a time, dip the top quarter of the 3 remaining waffle cones in the white chocolate mixture, then sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles. Place the cones onto champagne flutes, decorated-side down, to set. (You can also set them on wax paper to set.)
• Add the remaining softened ice cream to the crust and spread to smooth. Sprinkle the chopped strawberries over the top and gently press into the ice cream. Using a spoon, drizzle the top with the remaining white chocolate mixture. Finish with the remaining tablespoon sprinkles.
• Remove the scoops of ice cream from the freezer and place them in the center of the pie. Top each scoop with one inverted decorated ice cream cone; be sure to place them on an angle, so they are not sitting vertically on the ice cream scoops. Transfer the pie to the freezer and let set for at least 2 hours.
• When ready to serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of the pie to help release it from the springform pan. Remove the pie from the pan, slice and serve drizzled with the strawberry sauce.
