That’s Italian

April 6, 2012

I’m not Italian,but this seems like the perfect Easter dessert…Ricotta Cheesecake. Simple, light…with a touch of sweetness from golden raisins and a burst of freshness from lemon zest. This would be the perfect addition to an Easter brunch or  ending to a dinner of lamb chops and roasted asparagus. My Hungarian grandmother used to  make a cake that the flavors and textures of this recipe bring to mind. Oh yeah, she wasn’t Italian either.

On the cheap. Really. The economy is struggling with a comeback but there is no reason to go hungry. For yourself or guests this recipe knocks it outta the park for less than $5…no kidding. It doesn’t get much simpler than this.
