While many recipes call for using a bain marie or water bath when baking a cheesecake, it can be cumbersome. For most home bakers, it is difficult to execute properly and if you get a leak between the springform pan and the bain marie, you have a soggy disaster on your hands. While the water bath method is supposed to result in less cracking of the top crust, that has not been our experience. That said, we actually like some light cracking in the cheesecake’s top crust; it adds character. Strawberry Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake is delicious! Serve it is or perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream. If you want, you can prepare a sauce made with fresh strawberries and some lemon juice and serve it on the side on the plate or allow guests to add their own or not.
