LINDY'S CHEESECAKE

Crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp. grated lemon peel

Heat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly; remove bottom.

Mix flour, sugar, butter, egg yolk, and lemon peel with hands. Press 1/3 of the mixture evenly on bottom of pan; place on baking sheet.

Bake at 400°F until golden, 8 to 10 minutes; cool. Assemble bottom and side of pan; secure side. Press remaining mixture all the way up side of pan.

Filling:

5 (8 oz. ea.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. grated orange peel
1 tbsp. grated lemon peel
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup whipping cream

Heat oven to 475°F. Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, salt, orange peel, lemon peel, vanilla and 2 of the eggs in large mixer bowl until smooth. Continue beating, adding remaining eggs and 2 egg yolks, 1 at a time. Beat in whipping cream on low speed. Pour into pan.

Bake at 475°F for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200°F. Bake 1 hour. Turn off oven; leave cheesecake in oven 15 minutes. Cool 1/2 hour. Refrigerate at least 12 hours.

Topping:

3/4 cup chilled whipping cream
1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds (optional)

Loosen cheesecake from side of pan; remove side, leaving cake on bottom of pan. Beat 3/4 cup whipping cream in chilled bowl until stiff (add sugar while whipping to taste). Spread whipped cream over top of cheesecake and decorate with almonds.

Makes 20 to 22 servings.

Note: Sliced peaches or strawberries often are served on top with the whipped cream, but purists would say this is gilding the lily.

I have used this recipe for almost 20 years and it is the very best! My uncle used to bring New York Cheesecake to my home every Christmas holding it on his lap on a train until he arrived at my home. I have a passion for cheesecake. This recipe is rated 5 Stars and then some.
