Angelina’s Pizza Dolce (Italian Cheesecake)
Servings: 1 pie, enough for 4-6 servings
Ingredients
- 500 g 1 lb. ricotta cheese
- 5 eggs
- 150 g 3/4 cup sugar, or more to taste
- Zest of a small lemon finely grated
- A good pour of sweet anise liqueur anisette or sambuca
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together until they form a smooth and uniform whole. Pour into a greased pie pan and bake at 180°C/350°F for about 45 minutes, or until completely set and golden brown on top.
- Allow to cool before serving. (The pie will deflate a bit as it cools, which is perfectly normal.)
