  • It tastes very very good, however falls apart. So if your trying to impress guests I'd stay away.

  • This is a cheesecake. Ricotta cheesecake. It's rather thin, hard to serve, but tasty cheesecake. I don't think I will make this again. There are so many more good recipes for better cheesecake that I don't need this thin one. It was really hard to make a clean slice.

  • Do you have to use rice flour? Why stock something I would use rarely.

  • Great recipe! Easy to make and with such freshness about it that makes you want to eat a slice every time you walk into the kitchen. Added honey to the fresh berries after it was all done. Delicious.

  • I just used a whole (16 oz) container of ricotta and about 2/3 of an 8 oz block of cream cheese and it came out well. Pretty low carb if you substitute Stevia for sugar.

  • Can anyone translate the recipe to USA measurements? It sounds so easy to do, just not sure of the translation.
