Homemade Cheese Cake Recipe

Ingredients needed:

3 lbs ricotta cheese

9 large eggs, beaten well
1 1/2 cups of sugar

grated peel and juice from 1 orange

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 Tablespoons pure vanilla extract

Confectioners' sugar to sprinkle on top (or chocolate syrup)

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan and place it on a baking sheet.
2. Using an electric mixer, combine the ricotta, eggs, granulated sugar, orange peel with juice, heavy cream and vanilla. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 1½ hours. Turn off the oven and let the cake rest inside for 30 minutes. Let cool, then sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar, chocolate syrup (like photo) or fresh strawberries in strawberry glaze. (Personally, I love it by itself!)
