2 cups ricotta cheese
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz cream cheese
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
¼ cup corn starch
1 tsp baking powder

Use about a dozen of your favorite cookies; such as graham crackers, nilla wafers or short bread cookies.

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:
Pour the cheese cake batter into the molded pie crust. Sprinkle topping over pie.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the toothpick test comes out clean.
This is a delicious dessert to end any nice meal.

I can only imagine how wonderfully fluffy and light the two cups of ricotta in this cheesecake must be! On Christmas I made a cheesecake with 1 part sour cream, 2 parts cream cheese... now I'm dying to try ricotta!
What Jill said. You take the most fabulous food photographs. Hands down they are the best.
Have a terrific day. :)
