Step-by-step instructions for Ricotta Cheesecake:
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's nice and hot when you're ready to bake.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped dates, brown sugar or stevia extract, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and ricotta cheese. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a luscious cheesecake batter.
Pour Mixture: Grease a baking pan and pour the cheesecake mixture into it, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
