Ricotta Cheesecake with Pineapple, Peach Compote

Ricotta Cheesecake

 

Ricotta cheese lends it's full, rich flavor to this cheesecake, but requires extra effort when it comes to creating a smooth texture; spending a few seconds in the food processor helps cut the gritty texture, resulting in a very dense and creamy cake.

I added fresh pineapple and peach compote to balance the richness of the cake, creating the perfect balance and abundance of flavor.
