Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
2 pounds ricotta cheese
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
5 eggs
3 teaspoons of Amaretto
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Set rack in the middle of the oven. Butter and flour a 9 1/2 inch springform pan, and tap out excess flour.
Place the ricotta in a large mixing bowl, and stir it as smooth as possible with a mixer. Stir the sugar and flour together thoroughly into the ricotta. Stir in the eggs 1 at a time. Blend in the vanilla, Amaretto, the zests, and salt. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the center of the oven for about 75 minutes, until a light golden color. Make sure the center is fairly firm, and the point of a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. It will sink slightly as it cools. Cover, and chill till serving time.

Do not buy the cheap stuff, use a good quality one, trust me the extra expense is well worth it. Also, use whole milk ricotta cheese, drained. The best way to drain ricotta cheese is to wrap in a double layer of cheesecloth. Place in a colander and weigh down with a few cans. Allow to drain over a bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
