Ricotta Cheeecake Pie

YILD: erve 8

ACTIV TIM: 30 minute

TOTAL TIM: 5 hour

Thi i a lighter alternative to traditional cheeecake. The flak crut and the addition of ricotta help lighten the affair,
making it the perfect finih for earl ummer dinner. While thi pie would e great with an fruit topping, I recommend
trawerrie and rhuar, made with frozen or freh trawerrie and freh rhuar.
Note: For et reult, ue a good qualit ricotta. Check the ingredient lit. It hould contain nothing ut milk or whe,
alt, and either vinegar or a tarter. Avoid rand with gum or thickener. We recommend Calaro rand.
