Gourmet almond and lemon cheesecake for a decadent treat.
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • Plain flour, to dust
  • 250g fresh ricotta
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 160g (2/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 90g butter, melted
  • 3 lemons, rind finely grated, juiced
  • 225g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour, sifted
  • 60g almond meal
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 22cm springform cake pan with melted butter and dust with plain flour.
  • Combine ricotta, eggs, and sugar in a food processor until smooth. Add butter, lemon rind, and lemon juice, then blend well.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl. Mix in the self-raising flour and almond meal using a spatula until well combined. Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then remove the pan's sides and flip it onto a wire rack to cool.
