No Sugar Italian Sweet Ricotta Pie
For Italians, Easter is both a religious and culinary celebration. Since it is preceded by Lent, a time for fasting, Easter Sunday is a day to rejoice and indulge, especially in sweets.
Creamy sweet ricotta pie always has a place in an Italian Easter Sunday feast. This dish is super delicious at breakfast, lunch or for dessert for any time of year! No crust, no sugar, very few carbs and pineapple vanilla is a fabulous flavor profile.
We have not tested this recipe for almond or other nut milks so we cannot help you with that. I highly recommend that you make the recipe as written or you could end up wasting a whole basket of ingredients and not have a dessert - and that would not be a happy meal!Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup Truvia or 1 cup Splenda Granulated
- 1 cup milk or half & half (DO NOT use fat free)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- One, 15 ounce container of ricotta - Galbani or Polly O are good brands - DO NOT use fat free as there are starch thickeners added
- 1 cup canned unsweetened crushed pineapple, well drained and squeezed of moisture
- Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Using the blender, pulse the eggs, Truvia, milk, vanilla and ricotta until smooth.
- Stir in the pineapple and pour filling into a glass or ceramic pie plate that has been coated with vegetable non stick spray. Sprinkle surface with cinnamon.
- Bake at 325 degrees until the filling is slightly puffed at wide edge has turned golden and is set - meaning it should be firm, not jiggly when you gently move the pie plate from side to side - a little soft in the center is desired - 35 to 40 minutes.
