Our favorite chefs are literally giving us the recipes for a cheesy, delicious dream. This time, Martha Stewart just dropped a cheesecake recipe that will make your mouth water.

On Aug 14, Stewart revolutionized our dessert menu with this recipe, which she posted to her Instagram with the caption reading, “Martha’s Italian cheesecake gets its light, tender texture from ricotta cheese rather than the cream cheese that’s used in most cheesecakes. It’s flavored with plenty of citrus zest—we love a mix of lemon and orange here—along with a touch of vanilla extract. It’s a fantastic way to cap off an Italian meal but is easy enough to whip up on a whim. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @jacob_fox_photo.”

This super simple cheesecake recipe only needs a few ingredients like whole-milk ricotta cheese, all-purpose flour, and sugar, to name a few. Along with that, you can add a touch of zest with either lemons or oranges, depending on your preferences.

The three-step recipe is as easy as it gets, so easy that any beginner could easily make a delicious replica. You start by generously adding butter where needed and end it by letting it cool after an hour in the oven.

Stewart recommends eating it the day it’s baked, but if you properly store it, you can save it for up to three days.
