About Ricotta cheesecake
Ricotta Cheesecake is a creamy, delightful dessert rooted in Italian cuisine, celebrated for its lighter texture compared to traditional cheesecakes. It features ricotta cheese as the centerpiece, often combined with eggs, sugar, and vanilla for a subtly sweet and rich flavor profile. Some recipes may include a hint of citrus zest or a base of crushed biscuits or pastry, while others embrace its simplicity by serving it crustless. Ricotta is a good source of protein and calcium, making this cheesecake slightly more nutrient-rich than versions using denser cream cheese. However, its sugar content and occasional buttery crust can contribute to a higher calorie count. When enjoyed in moderation, it offers a balanced indulgence—a harmonious blend of heritage, flavor, and creamy goodness suited for a dessert option that's both satisfying and refined.
