Steps

1. ### Baked Orange and Almond Ricotta Cheesecake Recipe
3. #### Ingredients:
4. - **For the Crust:**
5. - 1½ cups almond flour
6. - ¼ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
7. - ¼ cup almond meal (finely ground almonds)
8. - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
9. - 1 teaspoon baking powder
10. - ⅛ teaspoon salt
11. - 8-10 pitted and sliced apricots
13. - **For the Filling:**
14. - 3 cups ricotta cheese
15. - ¾ cup granulated sugar
16. - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
17. - Zest of 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon)
18. - Juice of 1 orange (about ⅓ cup)
19. - 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
20. - ¼ cup sliced almonds
22. - **For the Topping:**
23. - 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
24. - 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
26. #### Instructions:
28. **Step 1:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line with parchment paper.
30. **Step 2:** In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, shredded coconut, almond meal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
32. **Step 3:** While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat ricotta cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and juice until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the beaten eggs one at a time to ensure no curds form.
34. **Step 4:** Carefully arrange apricot slices on top of the cooled crust. Pour the filling evenly over the fruit slices. Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly across the surface for added crunch.
36. **Step 5:** Place the cheesecake into the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking, as it can lead to a dry texture.
38. **Step 6:** Once done, remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before refrigerating. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
40. **Step 7:** Before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar and grated orange zest over the cheesecake for an extra decorative touch.
42. #### Tips:
43. - Use high-quality almonds and ricotta cheese to enhance flavor.
44. - For a richer taste, consider adding a bit of lemon juice along with the orange zest in the filling.
45. - To make this recipe vegan-friendly, replace eggs with flax or chia seeds mixed with water and use non-dairy milk.
