Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 225 grams Ricotta cheese
- 120 ml Honey
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 ml Honey (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, trim the edges if necessary, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and ricotta cheese. Beat together until smooth and creamy.
Add the honey, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the filling is fully combined and smooth.
Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Optionally, drizzle additional honey over the top for extra sweetness.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for a chilled version, or serve warm if preferred.
