Ingredients

For the base:

  • 1 cup softened pitted dates
  • 1 cup lightly toasted almond meal

For the filling:

  • 500 g ricotta cheese, well drained
  • 150 g caster sugar or ground demerara sugar
  • zest of 1 orange
  • zest of ½ lemon
  • ½ vanilla pod seeds, optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios, optional
  • 5 tablespoon homemade nutella, or store-bought version

Instructions

  • In a food processor mix together all the cheesecake base ingredients until combined.
  • Put the mixture into a cake tin covered with cling film, and use your fingers or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly, pressing it down in the tin to form the base. Put the tin into the fridge to set for about 30 min.
  • In the meantime prepare the filling. Put the ricotta and sugar in a large bowl and mix energetically with a spatula or hand blender until smooth and creamy.
  • Add in the orange zest & lemon, vanilla and pistachio if using, then fold the nutella in. Gently mix by hand until combined.
  • Remove the cheesecake tin from the fridge. Pour the filling over the base and spread evenly.
  • Return to the fridge until set and ready to serve (rest at least for 4 hours).

Notes

Makes one large 9-inch cheesecake or 8 small individual ones.
For the classic cheesecake base mix 15 finely crumbled digestive biscuits,
2+½ tablespoon melted butter and 1 tablespoon sugar.
