4 ingredients only for this very refreshing cheesecake, inspired by the traditional Corsican dessert “Fiadone”. Serve it with a cherry coulis for an ultimate flavor combo!

Ingredients

Scale

For the cheesecake:

  • 2 cups (500g) ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 lemon (juice + zest of the whole lemon)
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar

For the cherry coulis:

  • 1 1/3 cup (300g) pitted cherries
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
  • 1/2 lemon (juice + zest)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10-inch (26 cm) round baking form.
  2. For the cheesecake: mix ricotta cheese with a fork in a shallow dish. Add the lemon juice and zests, eggs, and sugar. Stir well.
  3. Pour into the form and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, make the cherry coulis: in a small saucepan, heat the pitted cherries with water, lemon juice and zests, and sugar, for about 10 minutes. Once ready, mix in a blender until you get a smooth texture. Let cool in the refrigerator.
  5. Remove the fiadone style cheesecake from the oven. Let cool completely and place in the fridge minimum 2 hours before serving. Serve with the cherry coulis and some fresh mint.
