Delicate ricotta pie on a berry sauce and pomegranate grains. The name refers to the classic American cheesecake, of which it represents a healthy alternative.

Opinion of the chef

Simple dessert prepared with fresh ricotta, milk, sugar and eggs and flavored with orange and / or lemon juice. To enrich it it is possible to add toasted pine nuts on the finish. Use the single portion molds to form single portions for your guests and serve with fruit sauce with no added sugar.

Nutritionist's advice

The ricotta pie is a valid alternative to the classic American “cheesecake” rich in cream and caloric cheese. The consumption of sweets at the end of a meal is recommended for festive occasions, special dinners or as a starting point for a richer breakfast on the weekend, but it should not be a daily habit because in the long run it could lead to weight accumulation, especially on the waist.
