Want delicious and quick cheesecake? With this simple recipe you can have scrumptious cheesecake in a flash. 

I got this recipe from a magazine many moons ago. I thought the recipe a little dull, so I spruced it up with an Italian flair.

I am an expert when it comes to Italian desserts. However, most of them are time intensive. Although, I am a great cook and love cooking dinners both easy and complex, I like my desserts to be as simple as possible. This Italian cheesecake fits the bill for easiness and tastes great.

Although cheesecake’s origin was in ancient Greece, it was adopted by the Romans. My Italian Grandfather used to make his own Italian goat cheese that my Grandmother would use to make a heavenly cheesecake. She used to put honey on it. The cheese was more grainy than the cream cheese we use today. My Grandmother called it torta di formaggio. A bit of a different taste from what you would get at your local bakery. But, our family loved it. 

My Grandfather used to also make his own junket. Which is a kind of a sweat milk based custard. My Grandmother would make her own pie crust and and create a cheesecake from the junket with lemon curd or strawberries on top. It was a bit time consuming, but that was my Grandmother. She spent most of her time in the kitchen.

  • 5 to 6 amaretto cookies or any almond shortbread cookies, crushed

Notes

TIP: Use your imagination when topping these little beauties. I have used toppings such as blueberries, chopped Hershey’s chocolate kisses, chopped pistachios and powdered sugar to name a few. You can create your own signature toppings.
