A super way to have a cooked cheesecake. Leave off the base, make it in a slice tin and serve it with berries and yoghurt. If you have a little honeycomb, use it sparingly as a garnish.

Ingredients

• 75 grams butter
• ¼ cup caster sugar
• ¼ cup Manuka honey
• grated rind one lemon
• 500 grams ricotta
• 2 tblsp flour
• 4 eggs
• yoghurt to accompany
• icing sugar for dusting

Honey Soaked Raspberries

• 1 tblsp Manuka honey
• 500 grams fresh or frozen raspberries, defrosted
• 2 tblsp orange juice or Grand Marnier

Method

1. Beat (by hand, or for a smoother texture, in a food processor) the butter, sugar, honey, lemon rind and flour together until creamy. Lightly beat in the ricotta and eggs.
2. Turn into a paper-lined base 22cm x 7cm or 5 cup-capacity loaf tin. Place into a larger baking dish and pour sufficient water into the baking dish to cover half way up the sides of the loaf tin. This is called a water bath or bain-marie.
3. Bake at 160°C for 1 hour or until the ricotta is set. Cool before refrigerating. Cut into slices and serve at room temperature with Honey Soaked Raspberries.
