My son wanted lemon ricotta pancakes, which meant a half used tub of ricotta sitting in my fridge with about a week to live. Instead of letting it go to waste, I turned it into this cherry ricotta cake! Just as good for breakfast as it is for dessert.

This sweet potato cheesecake bites are the perfect dessert for any occasion, and the best part? No stand mixer, no hand mixer, just one bowl and a spatula. I brought it to a kids' birthday party and it was gone before I knew it. Cut into squares, it is easy to pick up and eat with no plates or forks needed, which makes it ideal for parties and gatherings.
