Recipe's preparation
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Pulverise sugar 10 seconds speed 9.
Add butter and process 5 seconds speed 8. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
Insert butterfly and mix 2 minutes speed 3/4.
Add egg and cream and mix 10 seconds speed 3/4. Remove butterfly.
Add plain flour and baking powder and mix till a pastry is formed. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl during this step.
Knead the pastry into a ball and place in a bowl and refridgerate for 10 minutes.
Grease the base and sides of a 20cm spring form tin.
For the base, take a third of the pastry out and roll it between two sheets of baking paper. Place the pastry on the greased base, cut off leftovers and patch up any gaps. Prick around with a fork and bake for 5 minutes (no more). Nlow for the ricotta filling.
Insert Butterfly. Place eggs and 25g sugar in bowl. Mix 30 seconds, speed 4. Remove Butterfly. Set aside.
Place cream cheese and 25g caster sugar in bowl and mix 10 seconds, speed 5.
Add vanilla, cream and egg mixture from step 1. Mix 10 seconds, speed 4.
Add ricotta and mix 10 seconds, speed 5. Set aside until assembling cheese cake.
Grease the cooled cake tin rim with butter and dust with flour.
Roll out remaining pastry into a log and place between two sheets of baking paper. Roll out till about 4mm thick and your cake tins height. you can do this in stages as it is hard to get the whole side into the tin at once. Transfer the strips into the tin, pressing gently into the base and snug with the side walls of the tin. Continue to work around the tin. Cut off any overhangs and patch up any holes.
Pour ricotta filling into the pastry case and smooth out. Using a knife, gently fold the pastry edges over the top of the filling.
Place the remaining circle of pastry over the top and using your fingers, gently knead the edges of the lid into the folded over pastry. It should look as if it was one piece all the way around.
Place cheesecake on a lower middle rack of your pre-heated oven and bake for 45 minutes. The pastry may crack but will settle as the cake cools.
Once baked, leave the cake to cool in the oven with the door ajar for 20 minutes. Cover with aluminium foil and transfer to a cooling rack, then once completely cool, cover with cling wrap and chill in the fridge overnight.
Dust cheese cake with cinnamon and icing sugar before serving.

Kathrynginns: Hi, I see why you ask. The pastry is actually divided into 3 pieces. 1 piece is to be rolled out for the base, second piece is rolled out for the sides, third piece is rolled into a circle and placed on top of the ricotta mixture. I never knew this cheesecake had pastry on top until I just saw Fast Ed make one on TV. So I looked for one here. Hope I've helped you. Cheers

This is my favorite cake so I tried this recipe. It's the best!! I've done this cake 3 times and friends that tried it now asked to bring the cake to their place when we get together. Next time I'm just bringing beers and see if they want me as a friend or just the cake. I did too add more sugar to the pastry and the filling. I also added more exercises to burn the calories, I can't stop eating it.
