RICOTTA CHEESECAKE WITH WARMED CHERRIES



Ricotta Cheesecake with Warmed Cherries image

This dessert is elegant and more restrained than a classic cheesecake. We love the unfussiness of baking cheesecake in a loaf pan without sacrificing its silky texture. The warm cherries are the ideal foil for this cool cake.

Time 3h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Butter or oil for pan
1 pound whole milk ricotta
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs,
2 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch fine salt
2 1/2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest (about1 1/2 lemons)
1 (12-ounce) bag frozen dark sweet cherries
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch fine salt
2 tablespoons golden rum
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cheesecake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter or oil a 4-cup glass loaf pan. Line the bottom and ends of the pan with a long piece of parchment paper.
  • Blend the ricotta, milk, sour cream, eggs, yolks, sugar, flour, salt and lemon zest in the blender or food processor, until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until just set and barely golden, about 40 minutes. Turn the oven off and let cool in the oven for 10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Cherries: Toss the cherries, sugar and salt in a bowl and set aside for 30 minutes. Cook cherry mixture over medium-high heat until they soften and the juice gets syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rum and lemon juice.
  • Lift cheesecake out of the pan by the paper and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into serving pieces and place on a platter. Spoon the warm or room temperature cherries on top. Serve.

BAKED FRESH RICOTTA WITH STEWED CHERRIES



Baked Fresh Ricotta with Stewed cherries image

This is a great warm alternative to yogurt and fruit. Baking the ricotta removes moisture, turning this into a sort of cheesecake for breakfast dish without all the fat. You can even stir some fresh blueberries and raspberries into the stewed cherries when you take it from the heat for a fresh burst of juicy flavor. This is great on waffles or with a bagel.

Cherries have a number of delicious summertime uses, from filling pies and tarts to adding unusual color and flavor to lemonade. In this distinctive dessert, cherries are poached in a hot bath of red wine, which is enhanced with fresh basil, vanilla, and lemon. After the cherries have been poached and then chilled, serve them in a bowl topped with a spoonful of fresh ricotta cheese.

FRESH RICOTTA

Fresh ricotta is best the day it's made but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to four days. Martha made this recipe on Cooking School episode 412.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 2 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 cups (1/2 gallon) best-quality whole milk
1 1/2 cups best-quality heavy cream
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons), strained to remove pulp
Stewed Rhubarb (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine milk, cream, and salt in a 4- to 5-quart pot, and warm mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to prevent scorching, until mixture registers 195 degrees on a candy thermometer. It should take about 15 minutes.
  • Add lemon juice, gently stirring until just combined. Remove pot from heat and let stand 5 minutes. The combination of the acid and the residual heat in the mixture will cause it to coagulate, or curdle -- separating into a soft mass (curds) and a cloudy liquid (whey).
  • After lining a mesh colander with a triple layer of cheesecloth and placing it inside a deeper, slightly larger bowl, gently pour curds and whey into colander. Let mixture stand, pouring off whey occasionally, until most of whey has drained from still-wet curds, 20 minutes.
  • Gather up ricotta in cheesecloth and turn it out into a bowl. Serve within a few hours, or refrigerate up to 4 days. For a denser ricotta, which can be preferable for baking, hang it to drain for another hour. Repurpose whey or discard it.
