Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes and let cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat whole milk ricotta and mascarpone cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar, then eggs one at a time. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in vanilla extract, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  6. Turn off the oven and crack the door open to cool the cheesecake gradually for about 30 minutes. Allow it to cool at room temperature for an additional hour before refrigerating overnight.
