For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest to the ricotta filling. If you don't have a food processor, you can combine the dry ingredients and cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until a crumbly mixture forms. Then, stir in the egg. The pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld together even more. Serve chilled with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray and set aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to blend. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter and beaten egg while pulsing, until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. (10 minutes)
03
StepSprinkle half of the crumb mixture into the prepared pie plate, spreading evenly to cover the bottom. Do not press down to maintain a crumbly texture. (5 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, gently combine the ricotta cheese, sugar, and chocolate chips until well mixed. Spread this creamy filling evenly over the crumb base. (10 minutes)
05
StepEvenly sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the ricotta filling, ensuring the entire surface is covered. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, switch the oven to broil and continue baking until the top is golden brown, approximately 3 minutes more. (28 minutes)
07
StepRemove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chilled before serving. (60 minutes)
