08 Step

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 2 hours. This slow cooling process helps prevent cracking.
09 Step

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature (1 hour).

Once cooled, run a thin spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake before releasing the springform sides.
11 Step
Recipe View
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers to maintain optimal freshness.
For the best flavor and texture, use full-fat ricotta cheese. Drain any excess liquid from the ricotta before using.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cheesecake.
If the top of the cheesecake begins to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating for the best texture.
Garnish with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an elegant presentation.
