Corsican Cheesecake (fiadone)

If you're going to do evangelism, if you're going to be a missionary, if you're going to proclaim the kingdom of God, if you're going to tell people about the King, the Lord Jesus Christ, it's going to start with an attitude. It's going to start in the heart. You could train people till you're blue in the face, you can give them all kinds of information, you can load their theological gun, you can give them strategies and methodologies, but effective evangelism is done by highly motivated people. Understand that. It's not about training, it's about motivation.

INGREDIENTS

2		Lemons, grated zest only
6		Eggs, separated
2/3	c	Sugar
2	t	Vanilla extract
2	lb	Whole-milk ricotta
		Unsalted butter
		Flour for pan
		Confectioners' sugar
		Fresh fruit, garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 325'F. Blanch lemon zest in boiling water briefly and
plunge into cold water; drain well. Beat egg yolks, sugar and vanilla
extract in bowl of electric mixer at high speed until thick and
lemon-colored, about 3 minutes. Cream ricotta cheese in food  processor
fitted with metal blade until smooth. Gradually incorporate  ricotta
and lemon zest into egg yolk mixture, beating on low speed.  Beat until
smooth. Beat egg whites in bowl of an electric mixer at  top speed
until stiff but not dry. By hand, whisk 1/3 of egg whites  into cheese
mixture and combine thoroughly. Gently fold in remaining  egg whites
with rubber spatula. Do not overmix, but be sure that  mixture is well
blended and no streaks of white remain. Pour batter  into buttered and
floured 9-inch springform pan. Place pan in center  of oven; bake until
cheesecake is a deep golden brown, pulls away  from sides of pan, and a
toothpick inserted in center comes out  clean, about 1 hour and 30
minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Once  cooled, cover cheesecake
with plastic wrap; refrigerate. (The cake  can be made 1 day in
advance.) To serve, release sides of springform  pan, leaving
cheesecake on pan base. Sprinkle top with confectioners'  sugar and
garnish with fresh fruit.  Source: Patricia Wells at Home in Provence"

He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a family or owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a book, or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness. While He was still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him. He was turned over to His enemies, and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had – His coat. When He was dead, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today He is the central figure for much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever sailed, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this “One Solitary Life” (James Francis).
