Deep Dish Cheese Pie
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
- 1 1/2 cups farmer cheese (about 12 ounces)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 5 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- Orange marmalade, for serving
- For the crust: Place the flour, sugar, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until the butter is evenly distributed but still visible in chunks.
- While pulsing, add the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is just wet enough to hold together when pinched between your fingers.
- Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll the dough out into a circle about 1/8-inch thick, and then fit into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Dock the crust all over using a fork.
- Cover the crust with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Line the crust with foil and fill with dried beans or baking marbles.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, and then remove the foil and beans and bake until the crust just begins to brown, another 15 minutes.
- For the filling: While the crust is baking, combine the farmer cheese, sugar and cardamom in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and whip together until well incorporated.
- Add 1 egg at a time on medium speed, waiting until fully incorporated and smooth before each new addition.
- Stir in the heavy cream.
- Fill the crust with the cheese filling and bake until the top is browned and the filling is just slightly jiggly, 45 minutes.
- Let cool, and then eat the pie.
- Serve with orange marmalade.
