Ingredients
- 250 g Cream cheese, softened
- 200 g Ricotta cheese
- 150 g Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 g Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 100 g Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 200 g Sour cream
- 30 g Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, softened butter, 25g of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough.
Step 3
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie pan to form the crust. Prick the crust with a fork several times to prevent bubbling during baking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and ricotta cheese together until smooth. Add the remaining 25g of sugar and mix well.
Step 5
Add the eggs one at a time to the cheese mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the cheese filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is just set and a slight jiggle remains in the center.
Step 8
While the pie bakes, prepare the sour cream topping by mixing the sour cream and powdered sugar together in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Step 9
Remove the pie from the oven and spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to set the topping.
Step 10
Allow the cheese pie to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 11
Slice and serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy your Cheese Pie with Sour Cream Topping!
