For a richer flavor, use full-fat ricotta cheese. If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular baking dish lined with parchment paper. The bay leaves impart a subtle, earthy flavor. Don't be tempted to use more than the recipe calls for, as it can be overpowering. Experiment with different citrus zests, such as lemon or grapefruit, for a unique twist.
