Preparation
-
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wrap the outside of a 9” spring form pan with aluminum foil, set side.
2) Brush the butter all over the bottom and sides of the pan, add the crumbs turning the pan to coat the bottom and sides, discard remaining crumbs.
3) In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta, sugar, salt, lemon zest, heavy cream and vanilla extract, whisk it all together well so you have a nice smooth mixture and everything is well combined.
4) Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake it for 45 to 50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. Cool to room temperature.
5) To make the topping, add the cornstarch, sugar, lemon juice and ½ cup of the reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan. Cook stirring until the mixture is nice and thick, about 1 to 2 minutes on medium heat.
6) Turn off the heat, stir in the drained pineapple and let it cool slightly.
7) Spread the pineapple mixture on the pie, pop it in the fridge to cool for at least 3 hours, slice and enjoy!
