No.119 Mandarin, Amaretti & Ricotta Mess

Is this a deconstructed cheesecake? The components of biscuit, cheese and cream are all there but this is lighter and somewhat more elegant. Refreshing mandarin segments goes well with the almond amaretti biscuit. I do like to make my own amaretti as the store bought ones lack the chew that you get when you make them yourself.
