Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 1.5 cups Whole-milk ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cups Cooked beet puree
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 Zest of a lemon
• 2 teaspoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch oven-safe skillet. Transfer the dough to the skillet, pressing it gently into the sides. Trim the edges if necessary.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, beet puree, granulated sugar, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and honey until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the ricotta mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the skillet pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature for best results. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a few fresh berries.
