Got this recipe from my aunt several years ago. The cook time is actually the time to chill the pie.

Time 8h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs ricotta cheese (I use whole milk ricotta)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup Cool Whip Topping
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup maraschino cherry, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup slivered almonds (toasted)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate, grated
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 chocolate cookie pie crust, ready-made
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Brush the pie crust lightly with the melted butter and place the crust into freezer while preparing the filling.
  • Place all the other ingredients into a large bowl and mix well.
  • Fill the pie crust with the ricotta filling.
  • Cover lightly with plastic wrap and place in freezer.
  • Chill for at least 8 hours.
  • Before serving, remove from freezer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • I usually pour some hot fudge sauce on each plate and place a slice of pie in the middle of the sauce.
