Italian Cream Cheese and Ricotta Cheesecake
This ricotta cheesecake was given to me as a child by Mrs. Videccia, the cook of one of my father’s friends. I cherish it every time I make it because I think of her.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
2 (8 ounces) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup butter melted and cooled
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-pint sour cream
Directions
Gather all ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Mix cream cheese and ricotta cheese together in a mixing bowl until well combined.
Add eggs, sugar, butter, flour, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla; mix until completely smooth together. Stir in sour cream and pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off; allow cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door closed for 1 hour more to prevent cracking.
Cool the cheesecake completely in the refrigerator before serving.
