Recipe View Before serving, carefully run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan. Gently release the springform pan and slice into wedges. Serve chilled and enjoy!

For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur, such as Amaretto or Limoncello, to the batter.
Be sure to use fresh, high-quality ricotta cheese for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch cake pan lined with parchment paper, but it may be more difficult to remove the cheesecake cleanly.
Cooling the cheesecake slowly is essential to prevent cracking. Avoid opening the oven door during baking.

    I was a bit skeptical about the rum extract, but it adds such a lovely warmth to the flavor. Definitely a keeper!

  • Isidro Morarreinger

    The citrus zest really brightens up the flavor of this cheesecake. I highly recommend using fresh lemon and orange zest for the best results.

  • Jaylan Willms

    My cheesecake cracked a little on top, but it still tasted fantastic. I think I'll try lowering the oven temperature slightly next time.
