Ingredients
- Butter 0 oz

- Mascarpone Cheese Unagrande 10 oz
- Farm fresh eggs 5 pieces
- Lemon 1 piece
- Sugar 5 oz
- Honey 5 oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a blender, grind the cookies into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and add it to the cookies. Blend again.
Step 2
Wrap a springform pan (22 cm in diameter) with foil to prevent water from seeping in. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan using a glass (or cup) with a flat bottom.
Step 3
Place in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 10 minutes. The crust should turn golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
Now, make the filling. Beat the ricotta with a mixer until smooth. Add the mascarpone, sugar, and honey, and blend until homogeneous.
Step 5
Grate the lemon zest. Add the zest and lemon juice to the filling. Do not beat the filling for too long; we don't want air bubbles inside. Limit each operation to no more than one minute.
Step 6
Now, beat in the eggs at low speed, one at a time. The mixture should be smooth and free of bubbles.
Step 7
Pour the filling over the crust. Gently tap the pan on the table to release any trapped air. Now find a deep container that can hold the springform pan. Fill it with hot water, about 3-4 cm deep.
Step 8
Place in the oven at 170°C (340°F). Set a timer for one hour. After an hour, start checking on it. I usually bake it for 70 to 80 minutes, depending on the oven.
