Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pkg 9" pie crust (I use frozen or Pillsbury ready made pie crust)
1 1/2 lb whole milk ricotta
2 medium eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c sugar
1/8 tsp orange extract
*extra cinnamon to sprinkle on top*

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients until smooth.
  • 3. Pour ricotta mixture into the pie crust. Sprinkle top lightly with cinnamon. Bake on the center rack for about 1 hour or ready when a knife in center comes out clean. 30 minutes into baking, use a pie shield or aluminum foil to cover the crust.
  • 4. After an hour, move pie onto the bottom rack and bake for another 10 minutes so the bottom of the crust is cooked.
  • 5. Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
