I made up this recipe for my daughter who is gluten-free. She just loves it for breakfast. It's great with fruit for brunch or with whipped cream for a protein-packed dessert. Can be served warm or cold.

I didn’t need a full 9x13 pan so I made half the recipe, baking it in a 9 inch pie pan. I used three eggs and baked it for 60 minutes. This is an incredibly easy recipe if you are looking for a recipe that is quick to put together. It’s simple and light, and wonderful served with a fruit topping. Read More

I left out the cinnamon & added the zest from one orange, together with 1/4 C. mini-chocolate morsels. I used 1/3 C. Truvia instead of a cup of sugar. The problem I had was all the liquid in the bottom of the dish after the pie was cooked (and I used lowfat ricotta cheese). Next time I will let the ricotta drain over cheesecloth over night to see if this makes a difference. Read More

I also cut this recipe in half as there is just the two of us now. Very quick and easy. I reduced some raspberries and added to a simple syrup and top this 'pie' with it. Read More

Even though it wasn't what I intended or expected it was delicious. Super easy to put together. It was not the consistency of Italian Ricotta Pie more like a Flan. VERY moist almost wet. I added zest of an orange. I think for next time I'll halve the cinnamon and try to find a way to make it less moist. Nice high protein sweet treat!! Read More

I was looking for something to use up some ricotta cheese and this looked good. I scaled it down to 5 servings which used 2 eggs. My 15oz container of cheese was about 3/4 full. I would cut back on the sugar just a bit the next time; if I want sweet I'd rather have it from a fruit topping. I used a 1.5 qt rectangular casserole dish. Also several reviewers mentioned the texture was smooth like a flan (from using a mixer?). I wanted a grainy texture so I mixed it by hand for about a minute and it came out the way I wanted it. I took it out of the oven after about 50 min as the sides were starting to brown. Having it warm is not the best but I was anxious to try it. I did omit the cinnamon and did not miss the crust at all. I'm sure it will be better after being refrigerated. Thanks for this very good recipe! Read More

This was okay. The consistency wasn't very smooth and a bit grainy. Tastes similar to a flan but you can taste the ricotta. Read More
