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.

    Loved the texture of the ricotta cheesecake with the slivered almonds through it and the crumble top was amazing!! Wasn't too keen on the rum taste (but I think that's just a thing from my stupid teen years! tmrc_emoticons.;) !) Next time will leave it out completely and will probably also leave out the chocolate as I didn't think it needed it. It was nice that it wasn't sickly sweet like most cheesecakes. Thanks for sharing.

  • I made this over the weekend

    I made this over the weekend for my family, who are Italiian. They haven't stopped raving about it. 

    It was delicious! Moist and creamy without being sickly sweet like regular cheesecake. 

    I didn't have an egg so I used chia seeds and water as replacement which u wouldn't even notice. I also used raw almonds, just blitzed them first, along with some candied citrus peel. 

    Yummy authentic and very easy recipe! Thanku!  tmrc_emoticons.)
