Easter Ricotta Cheesecake is a delicious dessert that is perfect for the Easter holiday. This creamy and rich cheesecake is made with ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and a buttery graham cracker crust. The combination of these ingredients creates a dessert that is both sweet and tangy, with a smooth and velvety texture.
To make this Easter Ricotta Cheesecake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the filling over the baked crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the pan and slice into wedges. Garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream, if desired.
