White Chocolate Ricotta Cheesecake
An easy cake made of 3 ingredients, reminiscent of a Torta Di Ricotta. The original recipe created by Shaily Lipa was measured in ounces. Although it has been translated to cups, for best results it is recommended that the ingredients be measured using a kitchen scale that measures in ounces.
Note: It is important to use good quality white chocolate with at least 20% cocoa butter, at least 3.5% milk fat, and a maximum of 55% in sweeteners.
