Amaretto Ricotta (Cheese) Cake Recipe - Glen And Friends Cooking
This isn't really an Italian recipe... it has Italian elements, but I'm sure it will cause purists to have conniptions. But alas I don't really care what they think because this Amaretto Ricotta Cheesecake is amazing.

Ingredients:
250 mL (1 cup) raisins
30 - 45 mL (2-3 Tbsp) Amaretto / Disaronno
250g almond biscotti, or amaretti cookies
75 mL (1/3 cup) butter, melted
500g (1Lb) ricotta
4 eggs
175 mL ( cup) sugar
60 mL ( cup) flour
2 mL ( tsp) baking powder
Pinch salt
Sugar for toasting


Method:
Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
Soak the raisins in the Amaretto.
Crush the cookies, and mix in the melted butter.
Press the cookie mixture into the base of a 9 springform pan, and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Separate the eggs, whites in one bowl to whip, and the yolks in another bowl.
Whip the eggs, adding some of the recipe sugar - whip until smooth and glossy.
In the bowl with the yolks mix in the ricotta, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Fold in the egg whites and the soaked raisins.
Pour the batter over the cookie base and bake for about an hour.
When baked, sprinkle some sugar over top and toast with a kitchen torch or under a broiler.
