Blueberry Ricotta Cheese Pie

My curiosity about Blueberry ricotta cheese pie has gotten the best of me :) I prepared all the ingredients the week before, I was more than ready for the pie. So when the weekend had finally come, there was nothing more exhilarating than making it in my own kitchen.

Well, it's not just about how easy to make this pie. I've made cookies pie crust before and it was also no need bake pie. But what intrigued me more was the ricotta cheese. Wondering how it would taste putting ricotta cheese in cream cheese and heavy cream mixture.

The ricotta cheese gives the pie a very delicate and tasty texture. Not too sweet, not too salty and creamy. Beyond that, words fail me on describing the Blueberry ricotta cheese pie itself. If you want to know more, just scroll down and check out the recipe below.
