Fresh Pineapple Ricotta Pie

"A creamy pineapple pie in an almond cookie crust. Cook time does not include freezer time. I used drained, canned pineapple packed in light syrup rather than fresh. Can't wait to try it again as written. Recipe credit - Family Circle July 12, 2005 issue. I classified this as both Italian & Hawaiian since it seems to cross cultural lines. How about Haw-talian? ;-)"

  1. Yummy and refreshing! I used one fresh pineapple and followed the recipe exactly. This was a huge hit. I served it with homemade coconut ice cream. The crust was so flavorful and I would like to try using gingersnap cookies as an alternative for the crust.
