Yield Makes 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For crust:
4 (4 3/4-by 2 1/2-inch) graham crackers, crumbled
1/3 cup slivered almonds
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
For cheesecake:
1 3/4 cups (15 ounces) whole-milk ricotta
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 large egg, separated
1/3 cup candied orange peel, chopped
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, chopped
4 large egg whites
2 teaspoon confectioners sugar
Equipment: a 9-inch springform pan

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Invert bottom of springform pan (to make it easier to slide cake off bottom) and lock on side.
  • Pulse graham crackers, almonds, and sugar in a food processor until finely ground, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in butter until combined.
  • Press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom and 1/2 inch up side of pan.
  • Bake crust 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature (still in pan), about 15 minutes. Leave oven on.
  • Make cheesecake:
  • Stir together ricotta, granulated sugar, zest, and egg yolk in a large bowl until combined, then stir in candied orange peel and chocolate chips.
  • Beat egg whites (all 5) and a pinch of salt in another bowl with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks. Fold into ricotta mixture gently but thoroughly.
  • Pour filling into crust and bake until top is puffed and golden, about 55 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Cool in pan 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around edge to loosen cake, then remove side of pan. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Dust with confectioners sugar.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I really enjoyed this cannoli cheesecake. The ricotta filling was light and fluffy, and the chocolate chips and cannoli shells added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would probably use less sugar next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I would probably use less cream cheese next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I had some trouble finding cannoli shells, but I was able to make my own using a recipe I found online. The cheesecake turned out great and was definitely worth the extra effort.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. They said it was the best cheesecake they had ever had. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.
