Lemon Lime Ricotta Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and ginger together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Beat ricotta, sugar, and butter together in a separate large bowl on medium-high speed until mixture is very light, 7 to 9 minutes. Mixture will look almost grainy and curdled--that is normal. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture on high speed for another 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in lemon zest and juice and lime zest and juice, until thoroughly incorporated. Add dry ingredients in three separate additions, mixing until only just combined after each addition.
• Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in the pan for 15 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges and center of the pan to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the icing: whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and salt until completely smooth. Add in lemon and lime zests and juices and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour icing over the cooled cake.

Steps:

• For pie pastry into a 9-inch glass pie plate, flute edges and chill while making the filling.
• To make the filling; in a large bowl place the ricotta, whipping cream, eggs, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar (or more if desired) Marsala, lemon zest, cinnamon, vanilla and almond extract and flour; mix well to combine.
• Sprinkle the crushed amaretti biscuits over the unbaked pie shell.
• Spoon the ricotta filling over the crushed biscuits and spread out evenly.
• Place the unbaked pie in the fridge for 20-25 minutes.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the pie plate on a baking sheet.
• Bake for about 1-1/4 hours or until firm to the touch (might take a little less or more time).
• Turn the oven heat off and leave the door a little open.
• Leave the pie in the oven with heat off until oven is cool.
• Cool completely before slicing.
