Italian ricotta cheesecake recipe with Mascarpone
The lightness of the ricotta and the creaminess of the mascarpone melted together in this real Italian ricotta cheesecake recipe!
This recipe has been written by my sister in law and it is a way to cook the cheesecake keeping it light and soft, with the upside that it tastes even better the following days! The secret of the amazing taste is in the way it is cooked, you let the jam cool down after cooking in the oven in order to perfectly mix with the cheese cream.
The best way to taste this kind of cake is with a dessert liquor, something from the south of Italy like Malvasia from Lipari (the pearl of Eolie islands) or Passito from Pantelleria, a beautiful island next to Sicily. This cake can be also prepared for brunches on Sunday afternoon to surprise your friends, together with a glass of icy orange juice!
