SYLVANUS URBAN Sylvanus Urban - "The Energy Issue " | Page 51

Lighten Up IS THERE SUCH A THING AS BEING TOO RICH? While there is nothing wrong with the rich, dense, cream cheese filling in your Grandma's cheesecake (love you Grandma!), the virtues of Tre Stelle's ricotta cheese begs to be the base for a new take on this classic dessert. Founder Bar's Chef Kendall Sylvanus x Tre Stelle Collingridge's interpretation features a vibrant medley of black mission figs, toasted pistachio, candied citrus, and vincotto and forgoes the usual graham crackers for a cornmeal crust making it extra-simple and gluten-free. With cake - if not with life - a quality cheese makes all the difference, and the ricotta gives this dessert a fluffy texture that verges on soufflé. You don't want to be rich - you want to be happy. And sinking your teeth into this Tre Stelle ricotta cheesecake will do just that. The Energy Issue 51
