Topped with a tangy, slightly sweet sour cream layer, this pie is baked to perfection and served chilled, making it a refreshing yet decadent treat. Perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or any special occasion, this easy-to-make dessert is a unique alternative to traditional cheesecakes. With just 25 minutes of prep, it's an impressive yet approachable recipe that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, softened butter, 25g of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie pan to form the crust. Prick the crust with a fork several times to prevent bubbling during baking.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and ricotta cheese together until smooth. Add the remaining 25g of sugar and mix well.
Add the eggs one at a time to the cheese mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the cheese filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is just set and a slight jiggle remains in the center.
While the pie bakes, prepare the sour cream topping by mixing the sour cream and powdered sugar together in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Remove the pie from the oven and spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to set the topping.
Allow the cheese pie to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Slice and serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy your Cheese Pie with Sour Cream Topping!
