Italian Ricotta Cheesecake

oz whole milk ricotta

oz cream cheese (softened)

sour cream

sugar

flour

tsp pure vanilla extract

unsalted butter (melted)

raspberry sauce

Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees F.

Bring whole milk ricotta, softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, 1/2 cup melted butter into a large bowl. Mix well and beat on medium high speed (using a hand-held mixture or standing mixture) for 20 minutes.

Butter springform pan with the other 1/2 tbsp of melted butter and wrap aluminum foil around the pan to prevent leakage. 

Pour cheesecake mixture into springform pan. Bring to oven and bake for 1 hour.

Turn off oven and let cheesecake sit in oven for 2 hours. Do not open oven - we want to cool the cheesecake slowly.

Remove cheesecake from oven. Cheesecake might be slightly jiggly in the middle. Gently release the sides of the springform pan from cheesecake. 

Refrigerate cheesecake in the fridge for another 4-5 hours, or overnight, until cheesecake is firm.

Optional: top cheesecake with fresh raspberries, then sprinkle raspberries with powdered sugar. Slice and drizzle with raspberry sauce.

Serve and enjoy!

i made this recipe amd followed it several weeks ago. it came out petfect. Beautiful height and color. not one crack. Smelled delicious. After reading reviews I was curious if it would be "falling apart" when the birthday girl cut it open. NOPE! it was perfect and she smiled and said mom it is really really good..so creamy. That was b4 her birthday lunch we had to stop her from eating it. Not kidding. I would post photos if I could just to show off how beautiful it was. I'm not a show off. I feel lucky I pulled this off the first time. Yes ladies, beat it for 20min. Worth it. I'm a chef too. 5 stars.
Add a little lemon juice if you like. I didn't but thinking I will for the Lemon cheesecake I'm making for Easter. Wish I could share a photo.

I finally made this cheesecake and it’s definitely different from what I’m used to but delicious regardless. It came out perfectly and I’d make it again. My only tip is instead of beating the batter for 20 minutes make it with the traditional cheesecake mixing method and push it through a strainer to remove lumps. Quicker and easier and a good tip for anytime a batter isn’t smooth.

I agree 1 hour of baking was not enough. I extended the baking time for another 45 minutes. It turned out fine.  This cake was very good and was well received by my neighbors. I wish I made 2 so everyone could have a piece. This cake is so decadent and addicting. However, I believe the secret was getting the real ricotta cheese from an Italian deli, that's where I got mine.
Thank you.

Can I get bake time please for using 2-6 inch springform pans? I can’t find my 9” one!

You can use rice flour. The most commonly used gluten-free flours are chickpea flour, almond flour, and rice flour. Other gluten-free flours that can be used as substitutes are buckwheat, cassava, coconut, corn, millet, sorghum, and tapioca. I know because my sister and my niece since they were younger, and after they found out, we had to find substitutes for gluten-free. Coconut flour is also a great alternative because it really doesn't taste like coconut, but it adapts. Hope this helps!💚
