This recipe is the first one we made from The Tucci Cookbook (page 348) which my sister got for us. It’s essentially a cheesecake but with ricotta cheese. It took quite a bit longer to cook than anticipated and we found the foil-lined springform pan instructions a bit confusing at first. But this was delicious with lemon curd or a berry compote.

We would increase the amount of zest. Also use a good quality vanilla (there’s quite a bit). We didn’t have the rum so we used a bourbon vanilla and wanted more vanilla flavor.
