Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsps Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter
  • 6-8 tbsps Ice Cold Water

Orange Ricotta Filling

  • 2 cups Ricotta Cheese
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ cup Blood Orange Preserves (you can also use orange marmalade)
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a food processor. Pulse for 10 seconds. Add vanilla extract and continue to pulse. Begin adding cold butter, 1 tablespoon at time. Once all butter is added, begin adding ice cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pulse until dough becomes a ball.
  • Add flour onto a work surface and roll out dough into a large circle. Add dough to a pie pan and gently press against the pie pan, cutting off any additional scraps that do not fit into the dish. Add to the freezer.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine all of the ingredients for the filling in a mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Remove pie pan from freezer and pour filling into the dish. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and ten minutes.
  • Freeze for 3 hours or chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  • If you'd like to make meringue to add to the pie, whip up 4 egg whites and gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form!
  • Eat up!
