Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup butter, cut into small pieces
¼ cup cold water
4 eggs
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
¼ cup thyme honey
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese

  • Beat eggs in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon flour, and half of the cinnamon; continue beating until firm peaks form. Beat in honey, then fold in ricotta cheese until evenly combined. Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell and smooth the top of the pie with a moistened knife.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the center is set and the top is dark golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Once finished, remove from oven, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon.
