This is a simple recipe I got from someone at work - all I did was
replace the sugar with Splenda - it came out very well.  I used a
regular frozen pie crust as my husband (who doesn't LC) was going to
be having some too.  For me, I just broke the crust off with a fork -
the filling separated easily from the crust.  You can substitute the
usual ground almonds or almond meal for a crust if you prefer.

1 pound ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1/2 to 3/4 cup Splenda (taste the mixture after adding 1/2 cup)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
Cinnamon to sprinkle on top before baking (optional)

Mix everything but the cinnamon in a bowl - by hand will do as it
mixes up quickly.  Pour into an 8" or 9" pie shell or almond crust,
whatever you're using.  Bake for 50-60 minutes at 350F.  Filling
should puff up and be firm in the middle when done.  It will gradually
"fall" as it cools.  Refrigerate until cold and serve.

Sounds like the pancakes I had on Sunday, except in a pie crust.  YUM

Yes, basically the same thing- it reminds me a little of custard pie.

Thanks for posting the recipe. Seems easier than some ricotta pies I've made
before.

I never had ricotta pie before in my LIFE until this past holiday -
then my coworker brought one in - it was her Italian grammy's recipe.
So, I made a conscious decision to cheat and try a piece - wow.  So
that's her recipe with only the sugar exchanged for the Splenda.
Worked fine, maybe just slightly less volume than if you used sugar.
It only takes a few minutes to mix up the ingredients - that's always
a plus in my eyes!      Kalish
