Preparation
Step 1
How to make a ricotta pie in the oven? First, prepare the necessary ingredients from the list. Use high-quality flour. You can substitute cane sugar with regular sugar.
Step 2
In a blender bowl, combine the flour, cold cubed butter, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. If you don’t have a blender, you can rub the flour mixture into crumbs by hand.
Step 3
Transfer the crumbs to a bowl. Add the cold sour cream and quickly mix it into a smooth shortcrust dough.
Step 4
Once the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and doesn’t stick to your hands, it is ready. Gather the dough into a ball, place it in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 5
Now prepare the filling ingredients. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned cherries. There’s no need to thaw frozen cherries.
Step 6
In a bowl, combine ricotta, eggs, sour cream, sugar, and cornstarch. Blend everything using an immersion blender until smooth.
Step 7
Roll out the chilled shortcrust dough and evenly spread it over the bottom and sides of a springform pan or a baking ring (Ø 20-22 cm). Prick the dough with a fork.
Step 8
Pour the ricotta mixture over the dough.
Step 9
Top with cherries. Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes. Once done, leave the pie in the turned-off oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Step 10
Let the ricotta and cherry pie cool completely at room temperature, then remove from the pan and serve. Enjoy your meal!
