Ingredients
  

For the Pie
  • 500 g Ricotta Cheese Fresh ricotta; can substitute with goat or sheep's milk ricotta.
  • 150 ml Honey Consider maple syrup for a unique twist.
  • 3 Eggs For a vegan version, use flax eggs.
  • 60 g Corn Starch Ensure it's corn starch, not corn flour.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Almond extract can be used for variation.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Honey & Cheese Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) springform pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh ricotta cheese, honey, eggs, corn starch, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and lump-free, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour the smooth batter into the prepared springform pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is no longer wobbly.
  4. Allow the pie to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. Once cool, remove from the pan, drizzle with additional honey, and dust with cinnamon.
  6. Slice into wedges and serve as a dessert, optionally with fresh fruits or whipped cream.
