RICOTTA DELIGHT

I was looking for a cheesecake recipe on the net so that I could use up a blueberry compote we had bought. Most cheesecake recipes were quite rich for what I had in mind at the moment. Then, I finally found a Ricotta Cake recipe at  "Receitas de Comidas" that looked pretty good for what I wanted.

When it was ready, I didn't know exactly how to name it... a cheesecake, a cake, a pudding... guess a little bit of each. For this reason, I named it "Ricotta Delight". It is light, and can be served with jams or compotes of any kind, or even on its own, its delicious!

The original recipe was microwaved, but I don't really like cooking or baking in a microwave oven, so I opted on spending some more time using a conventional oven. I also omitted the raisins that the recipe called for, because, after all, I wanted to use up my blueberries, right? All the rest was followed to a T and I loved it!
