Steps:
- Cream together sugar and butter; stir in egg; combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; add to butter mixture; mix to form a soft dough; reserve a half cup dough to be used later for topping; refrigerate the remaining dough.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whip egg whites until stiff; combine egg yolks, sugar, ricotta cheese, sour cream, flour, salt, orange juice, and vanilla in a large bowl and beat until smooth; gently fold in whipped egg whites.
- Press chilled dough evenly into a 10" springform pan that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray; pour filling over crust; combine reserved dough with oatmeal and cinnamon; crumble this topping evenly over filling.
- Bake at 350° for 45-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near center of cheesecake comes out clean.
- Cool cheesecake on rack; cover and refrigerate to chill thoroughly; just before serving remove sides of springform pan and transfer cheesecake to serving platter.

[email protected]I had some trouble with the crust. It was a bit too crumbly, and it didn't hold together very well. I think I might try a different crust recipe next time.

[email protected]This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste. The ricotta filling was very dense, and the almond crust was a bit too sweet. I think I would prefer a cheesecake with a lighter filling and a less sweet crust.
