• You can add a handful of chocolate chips or candied fruit to the ricotta mixture for extra flavor and texture.
• If the edges of the pie crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

Storage and Serving

• Store the leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature.
• Garnish each slice with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
