I made my own ricotta yesterday and I'm looking to maybe bake a cheesecake with it. Problem is I don't have any cream cheese, and all the recipes I've found ask for cream cheese or more ricotta.
I made about 500g, and I'd like to challenge myself to see if I can cook with what I have on hand.
My question is, to all the experienced bakers, how do you think a cheesecake would turn out if I added cream to the ricotta to extend it, and how many eggs would I need to add so that the cake would set?
If anyone has any ideas on how I could use the ricotta to bake a nice cheese-esque cake, I would also appriciate that.
