ricotta cake
Creamy Italian dessert
Ricotta cake is an Italian-style dessert made with ricotta cheese, giving it a lighter, creamier texture than dense cheesecakes made with cream cheese.
The cheese creates a slightly grainy but delicate crumb.
Ricotta cake may be flavored with lemon, vanilla, or almond, and appears in both rustic home baking and refined Italian pastry: She brought her grandmother's ricotta cake to the potluck.
