Making this rich Keto Ricotta Cheesecake is a breeze. Savor the luscious aromas of fresh raspberries and orange zest, together with a hint of sweetness, for breakfast or as a post-dinner treat! Made with tvorog (Russian farmer’s cheese), eggs, flour or semolina, and dried fruit, zapekanka is a typical Russian cheesecake. It’s frequently offered during breakfast. It requires little more than a few minutes to prepare, has no crust, and uses ingredients that are often found in a Russian kitchen. Russian farmer’s cheese, which is used to make zapekanka, is quite difficult to get in the United States. Therefore, ricotta cheese will be used in our keto version. It is ideal for adding a beautiful, creamy texture to our Keto Ricotta Cheesecake, and it tastes and feels extremely similar!
