No Bake Ricotta Cheesecake

Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 15 oz. Polly-O Ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 8 oz. heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • For the crust: Preheat oven to 350˚F. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press into a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely before filling.
  • For the filling: Beat the Ricotta, powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and lemon zest in a bowl until light and fluffy. Slowly add the heavy whipping cream and beat until thickened and increased in volume, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Pour filling into prepared crust and smooth out with an offset spatula. Refrigerate tart for at least 4 hours, overnight for best results. Top with fresh berries. Remove tart from pan and place on serving plate. Cut and serve cold.
