This simple Italian Ricotta Pie<\/strong>, which is flavored with citrus and cinnamon and has a similar consistency to cheesecake, is a favorite dessert or breakfast. It is traditional to enjoy in the spring and is one of the easiest ever pies to make, with just 5 minutes of prep time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom\u2019s side of my family is Italian-American. For my whole life, we have enjoyed this Ricotta Pie as part of our Easter recipes for kids<\/a>. In my family, we eat it for breakfast alongside fruit, hard-cooked eggs, breakfast meats like sausage or bacon, and other sweet breakfast breads (like Blueberry Yogurt Cake<\/a>), though it\u2019s also traditionally served as an Italian dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love that this Ricotta Pie is so simple to make\u2014you just stir the ingredients together in a bowl and pour it into an unbaked pie crust shell and bake\u2014no need for an electric mixer or food processor<\/a>. And the flavors really can\u2019t be beat. There is a burst of freshness from the lemon and orange rind, plus more flavor from cinnamon. The pie has a texture that is similar to cheesecake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can bake the pie ahead of time and stash it in the fridge until you\u2019re ready to enjoy it. We love it on its own, but you can also serve it topped with sliced strawberries or fresh raspberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We consider this to be our Italian Easter Pie, though other families enjoy it for Christmas and Thanksgiving, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
