Top this dense and decadent ricotta cheesecake with a crackly, crunchy almond candy for an easy and elegant presentation.

Note

Raw caster sugar is light golden in colour with a honey-caramel flavour, making it perfect for this praline. If unavailable, use regular caster sugar.
For a finer praline crust, place broken praline in a small food processor and process until finely chopped. Sprinkle evenly over the cheesecake to serve.
