Citrus Ricotta Cheesecake

Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius.

In a large mixing container, whisk the eggs until they become light and fluffy. Then, combine them with sugar, adding a touch of sweetness to the mixture. Introduce vanilla flavoring and anise extract for added depth of flavor, followed by a hint of lime zest to provide a subtle citrus note. Next, incorporate the ricotta cheese to create a rich and creamy texture.

In a separate compartment, place the flour and chocolate chips in a plastic bag. Gently massage the ingredients together until they are evenly coated, creating a harmonious union of flavors and textures.

Fold the chocolate-coated flour mixture into the ricotta batter, ensuring a seamless integration of flavors and textures.

Place the pre-made graham cracker crusts on baking sheets, arranging them in an orderly fashion to accommodate the batter.

Distribute the ricotta batter evenly among the crusts, making sure each one receives a generous portion.

Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. After this initial period, rotate the cheesecakes by 90 degrees to ensure even baking.

Continue baking for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating that the cheesecakes are fully cooked.

Once done, allow the cheesecakes to cool down to room temperature before refrigerating them for at least 2 hours, or until they reach a chilled state.

Finally, serve the cheesecakes cold and enjoy their delightful flavors.
