Level: Difficult
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Portions: 6 People
Ingredients
For the crust
- 150 g amaretti
- 50 g butter
For the Italian-style meringue
- 2 egg whites
- 120 g sugar
- 80 ml water
For the dough
- 200 g ricotta
- 4 tablespoons Cremadelizia Pistacchio Babbi
- 200 ml cream
- 2 sheets and a half of isinglass
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- Amaretti and pistachio granules to taste
Preparation
For the crust:
- Melt the butter, crumble the biscuits, then add the butter and compact everything in a 18 cm hinge mould lined with baking paper and put in the fridge to firm up.
For the meringue:
- Boil the water and remove the syrup from the heat as soon as it starts to bubble; in the meantime, whip the egg whites at moderate speed: when they take on a foamy appearance, increase the speed and pour the hot syrup in three times, gradually increasing the speed.
- As soon as the meringue is firm and shiny, turn off the mixer and set the mixture aside.
For the cheesecake:
- Whip the cream with Cremadelizia Pistacchio Babbi; add the softened ricotta and continue to whip with the whisk.
- Dissolve the isinglass after keeping it in cold water for 10 minutes with 2 tablespoons of milk, then add the ricotta and cream. Finally, add the meringue with movements from top to bottom and pour the cream on the amaretti base.
- Keep in the fridge for 4-5 hours; before serving, decorate with crumbled amaretti and pistachio granules.
