Recipe's preparation

    Add plain flour, brown sugar and baking powder to almond meal. Mix dry ingredients 5-8 secs / Speed 4.

    Add vanilla, egg and butter. Mix 5 secs / Speed 8 until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

    Add slivered almonds and reserved chocolate. Mix for 8-10 secs on Reverse / Speed 3. Aid mixing with spatula.

    Place half the chilled base mixture to a greased and lined round cake tin and press into the tin to form the base of the cheesecake.

    Spread ricotta filling onto base. Smooth surface with spatula. 

    Sprinkle more of the base mixture onto top of ricotta filling as a crumble topping.

Tip

The recipe makes a lot of base mixture. This enables you to make the base and the crumble topping as thick as you like. I tend to have plenty left over - enough to make a base for another cheesecake. You can freeze the leftover base mixture.
