    Simple and healthy pumpkin ricotta pie recipe. Great with a cup of coffee! ❤ COOKTORIA.COM

    This post is truly special to me. I am officially launching my blog today and sharing all the love and passion for food (and photography) with YOU. I hope you will find a lot of tasty recipes here and we can become friends. What do you think?

    I would like to share with you how I got to where I am today, launching my very own food blog that I created from scratch, so you can have a better idea of how Cooktoria came to be and why.

    Simple and healthy pumpkin ricotta pie recipe. Great with a cup of coffee! ❤ COOKTORIA.COM

    It all started 2 years ago. Even though I didn’t create this blog until March 2015, I’ve had a burning desire to share my recipes since early 2013. Because I didn’t have any background in web development (and I thought you needed that to create a blog), I decided to create a Facebook fan page called Cooking with Tania. I collected recipes for almost half a year there, but I never launched it. One day, I showed that Facebook page to a friend of mine and he offered to help me create a blog, and I got VERY excited. The time passed, and that friend received a job offer and wasn’t able to invest his time into my site. Almost another year passed and I decided I could create a blog myself (It wasn’t as hard as I had imagined.) And so, following a lot of YouTube tutorials, Cooktoria came to be…

    The reason I started this blog is simple. I am hoping to create a nice, friendly community where you can come for inspiration and get breakfast or dinner ideas for things to cook for your loved ones. I am mostly posting healthy, easy to follow recipes so you don’t have to spend all day next to the cooking stove. We should all enjoy cooking!

    I am eager to get to know you, so feel free to contact me and share your thoughts. If you like what I do, share this blog on your social media sites; I would really appreciate it. Thank you for finding the time to read my posts. I am sending you one million HUGS!!!

    Okay, let's start cooking!

    Calories 295 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup milk
    • ½ cup water
    • ½ cup semolina
    • 1 lb. baked pumpkin puree (see note)
    • 1 cup ricotta cheese
    • ¼ cup honey
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds
    • a pinch of salt
    • more honey for glaze

    Instructions
     

    • Heat up the oven to 350F.
    • Pour milk and water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and gradually add semolina and cook for about 2 minutes stirring constantly.
    • Transfer semolina into a mixing bowl and add pumpkin puree, ricotta, the egg yolks, vanilla extract and honey. Mix all the ingredients well.
    • Whisk the remaining 2 egg whites until thick foam forms. Gently mix the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture.
    • Grease large (about 10 inch diameter) baking pan slightly, and pour in the mixture. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds on top.
    • Bake for about 30 minutes, checking until the pie starts to brown. (Baking time may vary depending on how thick the pie is).
    • Once baked, let it cool for at least an hour and using a pastry brush, spread some more liquid honey on top.

    Notes

    Although it is not mandatory, I recommend using homemade pumpkin puree in this recipe, because it gives richer flavor.
    BAKED PUMPKIN PUREE:
    Cut 1 medium or small pumpkin in half, stem to base. Remove seeds and pulp. Grease the pumpkin with a little vegetable oil and bake at 350F until it gets soft and chars slightly.  It takes about 1 hour (+-20 minutes) depending on how thick the pumpkin is.
    Once cooked through, scrape the pumpkin meat from the shell halves and puree in a blender until smooth.
