  • Cooking
    Start with preparing the ricotta filling. Beat the eggs with the sugar. Add the ricotta and vanilla. Add chocolate drops or grated chocolate, if you prefer.
    Preheat the oven to 150 C.
    Take one part from the dough and make one circle with the rolling pin. Make it bigger than the pie pan size. Put it in the pie pan.
    Pour out the ricotta filling over the dough in the pan.
    Make a new circle from the second dough part. Cut with a knife in thin strips to cover the filling. Make 8–10 strips and put them on a cross. Start with the middle. Don’t worry if the strips don’t cover the entire pie.
    You need to cover the edges of the pan when you put it in. When you’re ready, pour out the ricotta filing. Put in the oven.

  • Finish
    Cover the pan with foil to prevent very fast burning of the pie. Bake for 20 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for a further 20 minutes. Check the pie with a toothpick. Check in the middle. If the toothpick is clean, the pie is ready. Leave it cooling and take it out from the pie pan. Pie with ricotta
