Contributed to the echo by: Sue Sanna Here's the Ricotta Torta Recipe: recipe for 2 crust pie Beat eggs until light and add ½ t. salt and 1 c. Powdered sugar, adding one tablespoon at a time and continuing to beat uniterruptedly. This is best done in an electric blender. Add 3 T. cornstarch, beating until the mixture is smooth and thick.
Force the ricotta cheese through a fine sieve. Combine with softened cream cheese and beat in ½ c. half and half, adding this cheese mixture to egg mixture while beating continuously.
