Method

  1. To make the Mortadella Cheesecake, first grind the taralli in a food processor, then add the melted butter. Mix everything well to combine, then transfer the mixture to a 20 cm (8 inch) springform pan lined with parchment paper and press it onto the bottom with a spoon. Put the pan in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, soak the gelatin in cold water for about ten minutes. Chop the slice of mortadella with a knife, add it to the ricotta and season with pepper. Squeeze out the softened gelatin and melt it over low heat with the cream, then add the mixture to the cheese and mortadella. Stir well so all the ingredients are thoroughly combined, then transfer the cream to the pan, leveling it with the back of a spoon.

Variations and Alternatives

If you like, you can enrich your Mortadella Cheesecake with fresh vegetables cut into julienne strips and stirred into the cream, such as zucchini or carrots, or with fresh herbs such as thyme or marjoram. For a sweet-and-sour touch, you can serve the Mortadella Cheesecake with some balsamic glaze.

Tips

To unmold the Mortadella Cheesecake neatly, we recommend running the blade of a knife, slightly dampened, all the way around the edge. Only after doing this, open the ring of the pan and remove it.

Storage

Mortadella Cheesecake keeps in the fridge, well covered, for about 2-3 days.
