Lower Fat Cheesecake with Almond Crust

A lower fat cheesecake with a crisp almond crust and a tangy Greek yogurt-ricotta filling. Uses less sugar and replaces graham crumbs with almond meal for texture and flavor. Baked in a warm water bath for even cooking and creamy texture. Ideal for light dessert without losing richness. White ricotta replaces some cream cheese to reduce fat and add creaminess. Vanilla and citrus zest lift the profile. Cooling and resting times ensure a crack-free, smooth surface. Nutty almond crust offers contrast. Perfect when paired with fresh berry sauce or a drizzle of honey.
