Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients (egg, vanilla, clear gelatin, n, ricotta cheese, pineapple) together until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 8 or 9-inch Pyrex pie plate.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the mixture.
- Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 45 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using low-fat ricotta cheese. If you prefer a different flavor, you can substitute the pineapple with mashed bananas or berries. Adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or a sugar substitute. Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved before blending to avoid lumps. For a twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled for the best texture, and consider adding a dollop of whipped cream on top for added richness. This cheesecake pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad or a scoop of sorbet for a refreshing contrast. For a complete meal, serve alongside Ndiwa Za Mpiru Wotendera (Mustard Greens With Peanut Sauce) for a delightful balance.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover the cheesecake with foil and warm it in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it may affect the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cheesecake dairy-free?
Yes, you can use dairy-free alternatives such as cashew cream or coconut yogurt in place of ricotta cheese. Ensure the gelatin is also a suitable choice for your dietary needs, or use agar-agar as a plant-based substitute.
How do I know when the cheesecake is done baking?
The cheesecake is done when it has set around the edges but slightly jiggles in the center. It will continue to firm up as it cools. Avoid overbaking to ensure a creamy texture.
Can I freeze the cheesecake?
Yes, you can freeze the cheesecake for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. To defrost, place it in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Note that the texture may change slightly after freezing.
