This was my Nonna's recipe. We always had this for the holidays. It is my favorite cheesecake because it doesn't have a crust. The most important thing is to NOT open the oven door.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
16 ounces cream cheese
6 eggs
6 tablespoons flour
1 pint sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Grease and flour 10 spring form pan.
2. Mix the ricotta, sugar, and cream cheese together.
3. Add 6 eggs (one at a time and mixing between each), flour, and sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla.
4. Pour batter into pan and bake 1 hour at 350.
5. Turn oven off and leave the cake in the oven for another hour. DO NOT OPEN OVEN!
6. Cool completely and spread with 1 jar of pineapple or cherry preserves, fresh strawberries, or any other topping of your choice.
