I think it is Nonna's biggest secret!This is the closest I have found so far to an Italian cheesecake. Almost perfect. I found the marscapone a little strong in flavour as the ricotta is so subtle so I will try with double cream next time (48% milk fat). I think the ricotta needs to drain over a sieve onvernight to get the excess liquid out and make it creamier. Also, I had to bake it for about double the time as I made one large pie. Looking forward to making it again!!!
