9 inch cheesecake pan

Set oven at 325 degrees. Spray pan with Pam. Dust bottom with bread crumbs.

FILLING:

1 3/4 c. sugar
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. grated orange rind (optional)
3/4 tsp. grated lemon rind (I do not use)
5 (8 oz.) pkgs. Philadelphia cream cheese
6 eggs
1/2 c. heavy cream
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract (pure - not imitation)

Have ingredients at room temperature.

Mix sugar, flour, salt, orange, and lemon rinds; gradually blend into cream cheese. Beat until smooth and light. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend cream and extract into batter. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 70 minutes. (Sometimes a little longer as all ovens are different.) Completely cool before removing from pan. Top with favorite topping. Enjoy!
