If you like ricotta cheese and want to try delicious cheesecake, this is a recipe for you!!! Mixing the cream and ricotta together essentially creates a homemade version of cream cheese, without any gelatin or other thickening agents.

This ricotta cheesecake is now eaten all year round throughout Italy and Spain as the household’s go-to quick weeknight dessert if the kids deserve a treat.
INGREDIENTS:
¾ oz unsalted butter, softened – 1 lb 2 oz full-cream (whole milk) firm ricotta
4 fl oz/ ½ cup thick (double/heavy) cream – 6 large free-range eggs, beaten
9 oz caster (superfine) sugar – zest of ¼ lemon, plus extra to serve.
Preheat the oven to 350°F fan-forced.
Grease a 10 inches round earthenware or ovenproof dish with the butter.

Using a fork, mix the ricotta and cream in a large bowl until smooth. Slowly pour in the beaten egg and whisk until well combined and you can’t see any lumps. Add the sugar and lemon zest and whisk until smooth.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cheesecake comes out clean.

Alternatively, if you want to serve it Basque-style, cook for 50–60 minutes, until the top is dark brown and almost burnt at the edge. Sprinkle over a little extra lemon zest and serve with some fresh fruit on a hot day.
