Ricotta Cheesecake - Easy Recipe - No Crust

This is a simple recipe for an Italian-style cheesecake. Instead of the typical cream cheese, it is made with ricotta cheese which surprisingly yields a light and fluffy cheesecake. Occasionally, you may find ricotta cheesecake made with a mixture of mascarpone as well.

Thank you so much for sharing. I baked it today. It was delicious. I baked it for 85 minutes and still it wasn’t brown as yours, but still delicious. Thank you!

WOW!!! i am in Europe and did not have access to cottage or ricotta cheese, so i used goat cheese(the fresh one in fridge section) and it turned out GREAT!!!....this is by far the best recipe and i have tried many!

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

That’s great to hear! I’m so glad it worked with the goat cheese! I’ll have to note it.

[@aliceinwondergame]

Where in Europe do you live? In my country it's normal to have Ricotta or Cottage cheese. And I from Europe too. I am just curious.

[@misstreas84]

@@aliceinwondergame Portugal, I found cottage cheese which is rare here and hard to find, but not ricotta.

Delicious. I have divide the cheesecake in 4, because the whole recipe would be too much for 1 person. I got 2 little cheesecakes. Amazing

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

I’m glad you like it! That’s great that you were able to divide it up. Good idea for cravings, but not baking too much.

Can we substitute the orange zest with lemon zest? Great recipe looks delicious.

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

Thank you. Yes you can. It would just take on a lemon citrus note.

Hi what can we use to replace eggs in this recipe?

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

Hi. Though, I haven’t tried it on this recipe, my go-to egg substitute in cheesecake is yogurt. I would try substituting the eggs with about 3/4 cup of plain yogurt.

[@Pastasalada]

If I used 1/3 cup of coconut flour for keto do you think it will work?

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

Hello. You can double check, but I don’t think it will be a 1 for 1 ratio to sub coconut flour for AP flour. I think it’s a 1/3 cup CF to 1 cup AP so if you want to sub, you may want to try reducing it down to about 1.5 tablespoons of CF.

Can you freeze this ricotta cheese cake?

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

Yes. You can freeze it. Make sure it has cooled completely , wrap it with foil and place in airtight container. It should be good in the freezer for 3-4 weeks. Thaw in the fridge overnight

[@misstreas84]

can you substitute goat cheese? we don't have ricotta or cottage cheese here.

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

Hi. I’m not sure if you can substitute goat cheese for the ricotta. However, ricotta can be made at home with a few simple ingredients such as whole milk, buttermilk and lemon juice. If you have access to these ingredients, you can search for homemade ricotta cheese recipes. I hope that helps.

[@misstreas84]

@@CraftstoCrumbs the goat cheese here is basically same taste and texture, that’s why I ask. Don’t have buttermilk here

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

You can probably give it a try. We don’t have goat cheese here, so I cannot say for certain.

What on earth is 1/8 tsp salt or 2/3 if a cup?!? How do you measure it… eyeballing is my guess

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

Not sure where you are located, but 1/3 is a common measuring cup, it comes in every set that I have. If you need 2/3, it’s just 1/3 x 2. If you are outside the States, it’s approximately 150g of sugar.

Why is it called cheesecake as there is no cream cheese. It's a custard.

[@CraftstoCrumbs]

It is made with ricotta cheese and is a cheesecake.

[@piratessalyx7871]

Sorry you’re wrong this IS considered a cheesecake, not all cheesecakes are made with cream cheese….please research
