ITALIAN CREAM CHEESE AND RICOTTA CHEESECAKE RECIPE ...



Italian Cream Cheese and Ricotta Cheesecake Recipe ... image

This is my grandmother's cheesecake recipe passed down to my entire family. It's the best. I can't believe I'm sharing it, but everyone needs to know how to make an authentic Italian cheesecake. It is creamy and not thick, which is why our family LOVES it! For best results, do NOT substitute any ingredients with low-fat unless you've made it before and want to experiment.

ITALIAN (RICOTTA) CHEESECAKE RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Italian (Ricotta) Cheesecake Recipe - Food.com image

This is the recipe I have used for years to make "Italian" cheese cake. It is a wonderful, basic cheese cake which easily lends itself to "variations".

Total Time 1 hours 40 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours 10 minutes

Yield 1 12inch cheese cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs whole milk ricotta cheese, drained
2 cups sugar
8 egg yolks
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 egg whites
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
1/2-1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon rind
graham cracker crumbs
confectioners' sugar, for lightly sprinkling over top of cooled cake (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Butter bottom and sides of a 12-inch springform pan.
  • Sprinkle bottom and sides of well buttered pan with Graham cracker crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, beat drained ricotta until very smooth.
  • Gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar and egg yolks, beating after each addition.
  • Beat in flour, lemon rind, and vanilla.
  • In a small bowl, beat cream until cream holds its shape, but is not too stiff.
  • In a smaller bowl, beat egg whites with remaining sugar until stiff; combine with whipped cream and fold into ricotta mixture.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Lower oven temperature to 350°F and bake 1 hour.
  • Turn off heat and allow cake to cool in oven with door closed (about 3-4 hours).
  • Remove cooled cake from oven, carefully remove sides of pan, store cake (well wrapped) in refrigerator.
  • Before serving, lightly sprinkle top of cake with Confectioner's (powdered, 10X) sugar.
  • Cake may be served chilled or at room temperature.
  • Note: Center of cheese cake will be lower than the sides when it is cooled.
  • This is not a defect!
  • It is supposed to be this way (makes it easier to hold the topping if you choose to use one).
  • VARIATIONS: Add raisins, chopped citron or chopped maraschino cherries to the batter.
  • Top cheese cake with crushed sugared strawberries or cherries before serving.
  • Cover bottom of crumbed pan with drained, sweetened crushed pineapple, applesauce or sliced apples before adding batter to pan.
  • Pie crust pastry may be used instead of Graham crumbs to line pan.

RICOTTA CHEESECAKE RECIPE | FOOD NETWORK
This no-crust cheesecake has a light texture and a rich, eggy flavor. It will rise like a souffle in the oven and then fall during the last 10 minutes or so of baking. To save time, I utilize the food processor and the electric mixer — a little extra cleanup, but I'm able to whip the egg whites and mix the batter without washing and drying the bowl of my mixer during preparation.
