Pesto Cheesecake
4 oz Pesto (click on Pesto for recipe) 1 lb whole milk ricotta cheese 1 cup sour cream 4 eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Butter and coat an 8 inch spring form pan with breadcrumbs. Put aside 1/2 cup of sour cream, mix the remaining ingredients together. Pour into the pan, bake in a water bath at 375 for 35 minutes (until firm). Cool, cover and refrigerate 12 hours. Remove from the pan and "frost" the sides with additional pesto.
