Crock Pot Ricotta Amaretto Cheesecake Recipe

ingredients

Crust
1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons butter

Filling
15 ounces light ricotta cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

directions

Combine crust ingredients well. Pat into a 7-inch springform pan.

Beat sugar into the cheeses. Add eggs, and beat for 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed of an electric hand-held mixer. Add remaining filling ingredients and beat about 2 minutes more.

Pour into prepared crust. Place the cheesecake on a rack in the Crock Pot (or use a "ring" of aluminum foil to keep it off the bottom of the pot). Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Let stand in the covered pot (after turning it off) for about 1 to 2 hours, until cool enough to handle. Cool thoroughly before removing pan sides.

Chill before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
