Oh, yes, this is truly a heavenly nuts and ricotta cheese cake. Every time I make this cake I feel like I take a trip to heaven and came back.

I always liked and truly love cooking but baking??!!! No, not quite, until I’ve had the kids and you know how this adventure of having little ones can change your entire life. Well, it certainly made loads of changes in my life and one of them is that I’ve started baking.

I do enjoy it now though and what I enjoy most is trying baking new stuff that I’ve never made and what I mostly enjoy lately, especially in baking, is trying healthy recipes – trying to get away from the traditional flour, butter, eggs types of cakes.

Browse around my blog to find a lot more healthy dessert recipes.

This is a traditional type of cake but…. it is divinely tasty and it is one of those recipes that you will want to make again and again. Encore et encore!!

Let me know what you think of it.

      Thank you so much Beth, it is more of a nut cake than cheese – it really has a beautiful fluffy texture. It’s soo good!

    You had me at ricotta cheesecake! I love cakes made with ricotta and this sounds wonderful with the nuts in it! I confess I don’t make a lot of cakes myself but this is one I’d love to try!

    That does indeed look wonderful! Ricotta adds such a great flavor and texture to baked goods and I can imagine the white chocolate adds a real decadence too.

    I’ve yet to bake a cake using ricotta cheese. Nuts and white chocolate added too, now that’s making my feel hungry. A scrumptious and moist cake.
