Directions:
- If you use store bought ricotta, drain it through a cheesecloth in a colander for one hour since fresh ricotta is much thicker!
- Butter a 10 inch springform pan, coat with 1 tsp sugar
- Beat ricotta at slow speed until it smoothes out
- Add eggs one at a time and blend in remaining sugar
- Add and blend in the yoghurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla
- Pour mixture in pan and smooth out top
- Wrap bottom and sides of pan in foil
- Cook this in a water bath ( place cheescake pan in another larger pan filled with water within an inch to top of cheesecake pan )
- Bake in a 350F oven , cover loosely with foil only for the first 30 minutes and then bake until top is golden and center jiggles, entire baking time about 90 minutes
- Remove cake from oven but keep in the water bath
- Let cool to room temperature
- Remove pan from water, remove foil from pan and cool on a rack
- Cool, cover with plastic wrap and let chill overnight
- Serve pieces with a dollop of whipped cream or some fresh berries on the side
