CRUSTLESS ITALIAN CHOCOLATE
CHEESECAKE
 
2 lb. ricotta cheese
1/4 c. heavy cream
4 eggs
1/4 c. light rum
1 tsp. chocolate flavoring
3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. powdered sugar

In a large bowl, beat the ricotta cheese, heavy cream, eggs, rum, chocolate flavoring, cocoa and sugar until very smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture into a well-buttered 9 inch springform pan and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees and continue to bake for another hour, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. When completely cooled, remove the sides of the springform pan and decorate the top of the cake with the powdered sugar. Either refrigerate or serve immediately.
