In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat softened cream cheese, ricotta, sour cream and sugar substitute on low speed for about 1 minute until well blended. In a separate bowl, using a wire whisk, mix heavy cream, vanilla, lemon juice, eggs, and egg yolks until blended.
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath (just a larger roasting pan with an inch or two of boiling water) until it no longer jiggles in the center when lightly shaken. Cool completely and then chill in the fridge for a few hours. I used vanilla extract in this ricotta cheesecake so the flavors of the ricotta and cream cheese would really stand out.
They’re sometimes even called “ricotta pies.” Italian cheesecakes will be a bit lighter and fluffier. New York style cheesecakes are known for being very heavy and dense due to the cream cheese.
Slice the spumoni into 3/4-inch slices, using a chef's knife dipped in warm water; dip the knife in the warm water between each slice. Serve immediately. Amarena cherries can be found in specialty stores or online. If they are unavailable, substitute maraschino cherries in the same amount.
