Easy baking: Chocolate ricotta cheesecake

 I have a habit of buying  ingredients without thinking about what to do with them, ^^", it's a bad habit but I still can't stop myself.

 So, I always end up making something because I have to use the ingredients, haha. This time it's a cup of ricotta, well, I bought it because I think I didn't use it for a long time. But at the end I have to decide which one to make, savory dish like ravioli, simple breakfast like ricotta pancake or cheesecake ^^.
Finally something sweet is the winner, hehe. Making this cheesecake is really easy, only beating all the ingredients together is all you need to do. The most important thing is, after baking, the cheesecake will be soft (don't try to bake it until firm, it will be too dry) it needs to be chilled until firm, or the texture is not as good as it should. 
For me cheesecake is great with hot tea or coffee, it melts down the richness of the cheese, and make everything balance ^^.
*For the base you can use plain biscuits if you want.
