I was just in a community theater play that was about an
Italian-American family. I made home-made cannoli for the cast and now I
have about 2 pounds of full-fat ricotta. (The cannoli were awesome but
hugely labor intensive)

I found this recipe on the Internet with some additional notes. I'd like
to hear any suggestions that y'all might have. I want to make it
tomorrow night so I can take it to a Valentine party on Thursday.

What do you think of taking out the orange zest,cinnamon and one egg and
adding 1/3 cup of Amoretto instead? Should the proportion be different -
like 1/4 cup of amaretto and one less egg?

I need some expert advice.

TIA

Sicilian Ricotta Cheesecake

Recipe By :Nicole
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : cakes desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pound ricotta cheese
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
6 eggs
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon -- ground
2 teaspoon orange zest
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Set rack in the middle
of the oven. Butter and flour a 9 1/2 inch springform pan, and tap out
excess flour.

Place the ricotta in a large mixing bowl, and stir it as smooth as
possible with a rubber spatula. Stir the sugar and flour together
thoroughly into the ricotta. Stir in the eggs 1 at a time. Blend in
the vanilla, cinnamon, orange zest, and salt. Pour batter into the
prepared pan.

Bake in the center of the oven for about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until a
light golden color. Make sure the center is fairly firm, and the point
of a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire
rack. It will sink slightly as it cools. Cover, and chill till serving
time.
