By: CONNIE263

"Flecks of creamy chocolate are mingled with the richness of ricotta cheese and lots of eggs. This is a traditional Easter pie, but it's good anytime!"

Original Recipe Yield 2 - 9 inch pies

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shortening
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 pounds ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 eggs, beaten
1 (1.5 ounce) bar chocolate candy bar, grated

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
To Make Crust: Place flour in a large bowl. Cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in 2 beaten eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring just until all ingredients are combined and dough forms a ball. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces.
Roll out 2 pieces of dough into 12 inch circles. Fit into two 9 inch pie pans. Roll out remaining dough into a rectangle 10 inches wide; cut into 12 strips and reserve for tops of pies.
To Make Filling: In a large bowl, mix together ricotta, sugar, salt, 10 beaten eggs, and grated chocolate bar until ingredients are thoroughly combined. Spoon half of mixture into each pastry shell. Use reserved pastry strips to form a lattice on top of each pie.
Bake in preheated oven for 90 minutes, until a knife inserted in filling comes out clean. Cool before serving. Keep refrigerated.
