Cheesy with Dayna

· · 🌡️ 38°F

My boss' husband grows misty eyed at the thought of the italian ricotta chceesecakes of his Brooklyn youth. After many failed attempts at making it himself, he abandoned the project. So, for his birthday i thought i'd surprise him by having one made by my dear chef Dayna, who formerly worked at Rocco (my favorite italiannplace in rochester)
I was going to film the whole process for him but clearly i have the attention span of a toddler and this is all i got. At least you can learn to make some ricotta!




And you can use our abundant snow drifts for cooking! Harold adored his cheesecake and it was gone in a day.

    That looks amazing. Sometimes I'm jealous of Italians and their cooking.

    And full size pictures! What did you do differently?

    the only way i get to have big pictures is to do it on my phone. writing blog posts from my phone is a bit difficult though. i'll never understand it. All the same, I would like to try my hand at making this cheesecake. I don't even like cheesecake, but this was not overly sweet and it was delicious.

    It's really good with an almond or orangeish flavor. Come over and we should attempt it one day!
