Total Time 3 hours 0 minutes

Prep Time 45 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 2 deep-dish pies

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 large eggs eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 pounds ricotta cheese
¼ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips, or to taste
4 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup white sugar
½ cup shortening, chilled
1 tablespoon shortening, chilled
4 large eggs eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Beat the 12 eggs, 2 cups sugar and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Stir in the ricotta cheese and the chocolate chips, if using (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and 1 cup sugar together. Cut in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in 4 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Divide dough into 4 balls, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two deep-dish pie plates.
  • Roll out 2 of the balls to fit into the pie pans. Do not make the crust too thick, as it will expand during cooking. Do not flute the edges of the dough. Roll out the other 2 balls of dough and cut each into 8 narrow strips for the top of the crust. (Alternately, you can use cookie cutters and place the cutouts on the top of the pies.)
  • Pour the ricotta filling evenly into the pie crusts. Top each pie with 8 narrow strips of dough or cookie cut-outs. Brush top of pie with milk for shine, if desired. Place foil on the edge of crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes; remove foil. Rotate pies on the rack so they will bake evenly. Continue to bake until a knife inserted in the center of each pie comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes more. Cool completely on wire racks. Refrigerate until serving.

ITALIAN EASTER PIE RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE PIZZA RUSTICA ...
If you’re looking for a classic Italian Easter Pie recipe (also called Pizza Rustica), the search is over. This baby is packed with more than two pounds of meat, including sweet Italian sausage, salami, hot capicola, smoked ham, and prosciutto. The buttery homemade crust sandwiches the filling, which oozes with melty pockets of mozzarella cheese. The addition of roasted red peppers adds a nice bright flavor to this rich Italian Easter Pie pie. The pie needs to sit for at least 3 hours after it’s baked before you can slice into it, so we suggest making it the day before, then heating in the oven before serving.
