I was looking for a special non-traditional birthday "cake" for a friend of mine and decided to try a REAL cheesecake. I set out to find a classic crustless recipe that used ricotta cheese and viola! The prep time is very quick (assuming your cream cheese is already softened) and I had no problems getting a nice even golden-brown exterior and a perfectly set center. The flavor is rich and full without being too heavy. It also has a pleasantly smooth, dense texture. My only issue was that the lemon juice listed in the ingredients never makes an appearance in the directions. I just added it after the vanilla, but before the sour cream, and it worked out fine. Definitely adding this recipe to my permanent collection!

I'm a "newbie", that is, I just developed this great love of cooking in the last yr. tho sadly, after all the kids were grown and gone and the ex had fled. (who knows, maybe he'd have stayed if my cooking had only been better, wink), or the "other woman" hadn't been so hot! :)
