Full days treat!

After enjoying the privilege of working 4 weeks on reduced hours it was quite a shock to start spending 8 hours again sitting at our desks, at least it always is for me! Hence, someone had to spice up our morale! My fellow colleague and avid fan of Eatmania decided to treat us with a pear & ricotta cheesecake. I must say that the cheesecake was impressively light and tasty! Melanie, our benefactor, is very cautious on healthy eating therefore she formed up her recipe paying attention to the sugar! The cheesecake, made up of ricotta and fresh cream was sweetened with icing sugar, this made the filling smoother and lighter. The base was composed of crushed biscuits and butter making the cheesecake crunchy. And finally, the topping consisted of lightly boiled pears in cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkled with icing sugar and some chocolate shavings. The result was light and very satisfying. Pity the dish was small since I could have eaten a large creamy portion :) For next time Melanie, please do use a wider dish :) — thank you.
