Lemon and Cheese Tart with Raisins, Almonds and Rum.

By Hugor @msdiaz61

The cheesecake is prepared during the Easter period typically in the regions of central Italy.

The original recipe has been published on my blog in Italian Il Mondo dei Dolci as a result of my several years of residence in that European country.

I have published more than 5,000 recipes in it so if you dare to translate them and modify some of the ingredients, related to each country, you can do it freely.
