Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a 23cm springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Tip: Make sure to grease the pan properly to prevent the cheesecake from sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the ricotta cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
Tip: Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture for about 2 minutes.

Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to avoid any lumps.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter to prevent the cheesecake from becoming tough.

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top.
Tip: Make sure to get rid of any air bubbles in the batter.

Bake the cheesecake for 40 minutes, then reduce the heat to 160°C (320°F) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes.
Tip: Check the cheesecake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it's ready.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Tip: Don't touch the cheesecake until it has cooled completely to prevent it from cracking.

Once the cheesecake has cooled, top it with the mascarpone cheese mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Tip: Use a spatula to smooth out the top of the cheesecake before refrigerating.

Just before serving, top the cheesecake with the chopped almonds and fresh berries.
