Torta di ricotta
My Italian variation of the international classic. For this we use ricotta instead of cream cheese, add some fresh orange juice and vanilla sugar and we have a delicious cake that you enjoy best with a hot espresso.

Ingredients list
Shortcrust pastry (for a springform pan with 26cm/10in Ø)
- 120 g pastry flour (soft / patent)
- 30 g almonds ground
- 100 g butter
- 50 g sugar
Ricotta mixture
- 500 g ricotta cheese
- 200 g sour cream

- 16 g vanilla sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 200 g sugar
Equipment
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F top/bottom heat (convection oven 160°C/320°F).
Shortcrust pastry
- Put the flour, ground almonds, sugar and butter in the mixing bowl of the stand mixer and mix with the dough hook.
- Prepare a 26cm/10in Ø springform pan and grease with butter. Spread the shortcrust pastry evenly on the bottom, forming a rim of about 1cm/½in high on the baking pan and pressing it down well so that the ricotta mixture does not spill out later.
Ricotta mixture
- Put the ricotta and sour cream in the mixing bowl and mix until creamy. Add sugar, vanilla sugar, starch, orange juice and eggs and mix thoroughly until a fine mixture.
- Then pour it onto the shortcrust pastry, spread it evenly and smooth it out.
- Now put the cake in the oven and bake for about 1½ hours. Then turn off the oven, open the door a crack and let the cheesecake cool in it for 45 minutes.
- Then place in the refrigerator for about 3 hours.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar to taste before serving.Buon appetito!
