Ingredients:

* 8 eggs
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 1 tablespoon lemon zest
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup milk
* 1 cup cream
* 2 (16 ounce) containers ricotta cheese
* 1 cup finely chopped red and green candied cherries
* 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
* 2 whole candied cherries
* confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Methods:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Beat the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla together in a mixing bowl until light colored and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Pour in the milk and cream; continue beating to make a smooth mixture. Stir in the ricotta cheese and cherries until evenly blended. Pour into the pie shells.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and bake until set, about 50 minutes more. Cool on racks. When pies are completely cool, dust with confectioners’ sugar, and decorate by placing 1 whole cherry in the center of each pie.
