Blood Orange Ricotta Pie

Step 1

Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a food processor. Pulse for 10 seconds. Add vanilla extract and continue to pulse. Begin adding cold butter, 1 tablespoon at time. Once all butter is added, begin adding ice cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pulse until dough becomes a ball.

Step 2

Add flour onto a work surface and roll out dough into a large circle. Add dough to a pie pan and gently press against the pie pan, cutting off any additional scraps that do not fit into the dish. Add to the freezer.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 4

Combine all of the ingredients for the filling in a mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Remove pie pan from freezer and pour filling into the dish. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and ten minutes.

Step 6

Freeze for 3 hours or chill in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 7

If you'd like to make meringue to add to the pie, whip up 4 egg whites and gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form!

Step 8

Eat up!
