Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 15 oz whole milk ricotta avoid low-fat versions for best results
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese no direct substitute but cream cheese could work
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar can be swapped with powdered sugar for a smoother mix
  • 3 large eggs beat well until pale
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract opt for pure vanilla extract for best taste
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips preferred for an even melt

Method
 

Crust Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt unsalted butter and combine with crumbs. Press into bottom of a springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, mascarpone, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and citrus zest using a spatula to avoid deflating the mixture.
Bake
  1. Pour filling into cooled crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Allow to cool.
Chill
  1. After baking, cool cheesecake at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
