A sample recipe from the "Flavored and Vanilla Cheesecakes" chapter
Italian Ricotta Cheesecake
Using a chopped pecan crust makes this cheesecake pure Italian!
Serves 10 to 12
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C)
9-inch (23cm) cheesecake pan, ungreased or springform pan with 3-inch (7.5cm) sides, greased (for other pan sizes, see page 10)
Crust
1 1/2 cups (375mL) pecans, toasted and coarsely ground
Filling
1 1/2 lbs (750g) ricotta cheese, drained (see TIP)
1 cup (250mL) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50mL) all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 tsp (5mL) almond extract
Decoration
1/4 cup (50mL) confectioner's (icing) sugar
TIPS
Fresh ricotta cheese creates a huge difference in taste and texture. Find an Italian deli that makes its own ricotta.
To drain ricotta, place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl, place the cheese in the strainer and let stand for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
A sugar dredger or shaker is a container with a mesh lid used for lightly dusting icing sugar, flour or cocoa for decoration.
VARIATION
Substitute 1 tsp (5mL) almond liqueur for the almond extract or substitute 1 tsp (5mL) vanilla.
