Time 3h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup cold butter, cut into chunks
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup water
½ cup uncooked white rice
2 cups whole milk
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese, drained
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
6 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained

Steps:

  • Grease two 9-inch pie plates.
  • Pulse flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a food processor several times until combined.
  • Place butter into the flour mixture and pulse just until butter resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in 1 egg and vanilla extract; process until dough holds together, about 30 seconds.
  • Place dough on a well-floured work surface, divide in half, and roll each piece into a 9-inch round crust.
  • Fit crusts into the prepared pie plates and freeze for 1 hour.
  • Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; stir in rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until rice has absorbed the water, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir milk into the rice and bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, stirring often, about 10 more minutes. Set rice mixture aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Beat ricotta cheese, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 6 eggs together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in cooked rice mixture and crushed pineapple until thoroughly combined.
  • Divide the filling between the 2 cold pie crusts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the tops are golden brown, about 90 minutes. Cool on racks.
