Mama Litalia's Blood Orange Cheesecake
Crust
• 1 1/4 cups butter cookie crumbs
• 1/4 cup toasted pinenuts, toasted and ground
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups Ricotta Cheese
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 5 eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon blood orange zest
• 1/3 cup blood orange juice
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon blood orange zest
• 2 tablespoons blood orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
• Preheat oven to 350°; grease a 9-inch spring form pan with 3 inch sides.
• Make the crust: in a bowl, combine cookie crumbs, pecans, and butter; press mixture into bottom of cheesecake pan and freeze.
• Filling: In a large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, and sugar on med-high speed for 3 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
• Mix in flour, blood orange juice, zest, nutmeg, and vanilla; pour over frozen crust.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes or until top is light brown and the center has a slight jiggle to it.
• Cool on the counter for 10 minutes (do not turn the oven off); the cake will sink slightly.
• Topping: in a bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar, zest, juice, and vanilla; pour mixture into center of cooled cake and spread out to edges.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before decorating or serving.
• Decoration: do this just before ready to serve--in a well-chilled bowl, whip cream on med-high speed until soft peaks form.
• With the mixer still running, sprinkle sugar into cream and continue whipping until firm peaks form.
• Ice top of cake with whipped cream or piped rosettes around top of cake; sprinkle with zest; serve immediately
