Solari`s CheesecakeA.T. of Terrytown tells me she has collected recipes from the Food section of The Times-Picayune for 40 years. She came through with an answer for E.B. of Baton Rouge, who requested a recipe for the ultra-light cheesecake that was sold at the now-defunct Solari`s. This version was developed many years ago and printed in this column by Myriam Guidroz, who cut down Chef Warren LeRuth`s industrial-sized recipe."When I was a little girl, my Aunt Elena worked for Solari`s," A.T. writes, "That`s how I became familiar with the name." She also enclosed the second cheesecake recipe, promising "It is delicious!"Makes 16 servings3 tablespoons soft butter, divided
1 package (about 12) very dry ladyfinger cookies
1 pound ricotta cheese
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or a few drops of lemon extract)
Pinch salt
Pinch cream of tartar
3 egg whites, at room temperature
3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar (depending on how sweet
    your sweet tooth is)Generously grease a 9-inch springform pan, using one tablespoon of the butter. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Crumble the cookies into rather small pieces with your fingers. Use half to line the bottom of the springform; reserve the rest.Place ricotta, milk, whole eggs, cornstarch, vanilla or lemon extract and the rest of the butter into the container of a food processor. Process until well-mixed and smooth. (If you don`t have a food processor, mix the cornstarch into a smooth paste with a little of the cold milk before adding it to the rest of the above ingredients; then beat until smooth.)Add a pinch of salt and cream of tartar to the egg whites; then beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Add sugar, about two tablespoons at a time, until all is incorporated. Continue beating until you cannot taste or feel a single grain of sugar.Mix together gently but thoroughly the ricotta and egg white mixtures and pour into the prepared springform pan. Sprinkle the top of the cheesecake with the rest of the cookie crumbs. Place the pan into a larger baking dish containing about one inch of water. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until cake is set. (If the cookie crumbs brown too quickly, cover loosely with a piece of foil.)Cool cake in pan until lukewarm before turning out onto a serving dish. Chill thoroughly. Garnish the top with fruit, if desired.
