Time 6h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, drained and softened to room temperature
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese, drained and softened to room temperature
1 cup white sugar
5 eggs at room temperature, separated
1 cup ricotta cheese, drained and softened to room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons raw sugar

Steps:

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press over the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Blend cream cheese, mascarpone, and sugar in a bowl until well combined and smooth. Add egg yolks, ricotta, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg; mix well until smooth.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Whisk some into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Fold in remaining egg whites with a spatula. Pour over the crust in the pan.
