Ricotta Cheesecake

I confess: I am a cheese-addict.
- I have liked all the cheeses I have already tasted.
- My three most favorite appetizers are:
1 - Mozzarella Bruschetta
2 - "Cheese balls" (these are Brazilian kind of cheese filled deep fried dumplings)
3 - Cheese breads (specially the ones made the Minas Gerais way)
And Of course, this theory is not only valid for savory nibbles, but this love goes all the way of the meal, to the dessert. Just to have an idea, yesterday, I decided to walk from the subway station to my house through a longer, yet more interesting, street. And what isn't my surprise to find a mini-farmers' market there!
After a long and slow walk through its corridors (actually, only two long ones...), I came out from there with a pack of Buffalo Mozzarella balls, a tiny small slice of an Argentinean cheese that looked very much alike Pecorino Cheese, and, my favorite buy, a Cheese Popsicle! Hey, guys, c'mon, don't go "yeeewwww!" yet... It's good, I swear! It's sweet (just like a milky ice cream), but then, you have a slght cheesy aftertaste that just makes the perfect counterpart in the end!
But talking about my favorite cheese foods, I couldn't not mention the Cheesecake.
This lovely cream cheese or ricotta based custard, slightly sweet, topped with the most delicious and scrumptuous fruit sauce...
