Ricotta Cheesecake
Ricotta Cheesecake is a creamy dessert made primarily from ricotta cheese, which gives it a light and fluffy texture. Unlike traditional cheesecakes that use cream cheese, ricotta adds a subtle sweetness and a slightly grainy feel. This cheesecake is often flavored with ingredients like vanilla, lemon zest, or almond extract, enhancing its delicate taste.
Typically, Ricotta Cheesecake is baked in a crust made from crushed cookies or graham crackers, providing a crunchy contrast to the smooth filling. It can be served plain or topped with fresh fruits, chocolate, or a fruit compote, making it a versatile dessert for various occasions.
