Ricotta And Vanilla Cheesecake With Lemon Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
1 recipe Tart Dough (see below)2 lg. eggs
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. sugar
15 oz. unsalted whole milk ricotta cheese
1/3 c. whipping cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. water, or 1 1/2 inches in your double boiler
2 lg. eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. lemon juice
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
1/2 c. whipping cream
Cooking Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare the tart dough as directed.To make filling: Using the paddle attachment on an electric mixer at medium speed or beaters at low speed, cream the eggs, flour and sugar until well blended. Mix in the ricotta cheese, then the cream and vanilla. The mixture will be a little lumpy. Pour it into the prebaked cooled tart shell. Trim crust with a knife anywhere it overlaps the pan. Bake until the filling is just set, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. When the cheesecake is completely cool, chill it for 1/2 hour. Then release the sides of the pan and lift the cake out on the pan bottom.
To prepare Lemon Sauce: Bring about 1 1/2 inches (boiling water should not touch the top of the double boiler or heat-proof bowl) of water to a boil in the bottom of double boiler or saucepan. In a large heat-proof bowl or the top of a double boiler, combine the eggs, sugar and lemon juice and beat at high speed until foamy. Set the bowl of lemon mixture over the water and cook, whisking occasionally, until thick. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until it is completely melted. Whisk in the cream. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. To serve, spoon sauce atop each slice of cheesecake so that it cascades down one side. Serves 8 to 10.
