Lemon Ricotta Cheese Cake is a very simple, humble dessert that is very easy to make on a Sunday afternoon. Full of flavor and deliciousness!

I am an introvert. I think my favorite place to be is at home, in front of my computer, in my kitchen, reading cooking books and doing research for my blog. And I think that this dessert is just like me, very simple, homey and quiet.

It doesn’t call attention to itself and it isn’t very complicated or fancy. Baking this little lemon ricotta cheese cake on a lazy Sunday is the perfect thing to do, in my opinion.

The delicious aroma of dessert baking in the oven, especially on a cold day, adds another dimension of coziness to the atmosphere that I love!

I had a hard time deciding how to call this dessert. It looks like bars, but it has the consistency of a cake.

There is cheese in between the layers of cake and there is this lemony flavor that makes this dessert so delicate and simple.

I hope you try it. I wish to be able to tell you more about it, but the truth is, you have to make it and see for yourself.

Enjoy and don’t be shy to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Want to try another dessert that is easy to make? Make this Old Fashioned Lemon Bread
