Something Different

Last night I decided to try something different.  I've been thinking of my mom a lot lately, probably because the anniversary of her passing was a week ago or so.  She would have been 106 this year if she was still alive!  Knowing how my mom was,  she would still be in the kitchen baking something!  So, I took her recipe for Pizza Dolce (sweet pie) and decided to make it into a cheesecake instead of a pie with no crust.  I also changed her ingredient of using Anisette liquor to using Amaretto and leaving the chocolate chips out. 

It was really good.  Fred loved it and he is not one to like desserts made with Ricotta cheese.  So, mom, this one is dedicated to you....we love you.
