Ingredients
  

For the Pie Crust
  • 1 pre-made pie crust Conveniently saves time, but you can also make a homemade version for extra love.
For the Filling
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese Ensure it’s well-drained; this is the heart of your creamy filling.
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese Adds a luxurious texture; can substitute with cream cheese if desired.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Sweetness is key; sift it to achieve a velvety filling.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor beautifully; opt for pure vanilla for a richer taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth; feel free to skip it if you prefer.
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips For sweetness and crunch; consider dark chocolate chips for a twist.
  • Zest of 1 orange A burst of freshness that elevates the overall flavor.

Method
 

Steps
  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Start by either using a pre-made pie crust for convenience or making your own from scratch. If using a store-bought crust, remove it from the packaging and gently prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  2. Bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared pie crust in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until it turns golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese and mascarpone cheese. Add sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon. Blend the ingredients on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Orange Zest: Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and orange zest using a spatula to keep the texture light.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Pour the creamy filling into your cooled pie crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
  6. Chill the Pie: Cover the assembled pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add an extra sprinkle of mini chocolate chips on top for decoration. Slice and enjoy.
