This ricotta cheesecake is similar in style to an American cheesecake, but is much lighter, let ‘s say it is an authentic Italian cheesecake. This is the easiest cheesecake to make — it takes just 15 minutes to assemble and doesn’t require a water bath. It is creamy and not thick, which is why everyone loves it! For best results, do  not substitute any ingredients with low-fat . Although some like their cheesecake plain, I prefer serving it with either fresh fruit or a fruit sauce. When berries are in season, you can serve them instead of the compote. For the Easter  season I like to serve this cake with a Cranberry -Strawberry Sauce. This is done by cooking cranberries and strawberries with sugar, cornstarch (thickener), and a little lemon or orange zest. This sauce is also excellent over ice cream.
