Ingredients

Crust:
8 waffle cones, slightly crushed
½ cup salted roasted pistachios
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
cooking spray
Filling:
1 ¼ cup salted roasted pistachios, plus chopped pistachios for garnish
1 ½ cups whole-milk ricotta, drained
1 (8-oz.) container mascarpone cheese (about 1 cup)
1 cup (about 4 oz.) unsifted powdered sugar
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons grated orange zest (from 1 orange), plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Prepare the Crust:

3

In a food processor, pulse waffle cones, pistachios, and sugar until finely ground. Add butter and pulse until mixture holds together when squeezed.

4

Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray. Transfer waffle cone mixture to the prepared dish, pressing it evenly into the bottom and up sides of the dish.

5

Freeze crust until set, about 15 minutes.

6

Meanwhile, prepare the Filling:

7

Finely chop pistachios and transfer them to a medium bowl. Add ricotta, mascarpone, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Stir until combined.

8

Beat heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon whipped cream into ricotta mixture, and gently fold until just combined.

9

Spoon the filling mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it in an even layer using a rubber or offset spatula.

10

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours.

11

Remove pie from refrigerator. Remove plastic wrap and garnish with additional chopped pistachios, chocolate chips, and orange zest.
