   • Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and grated lemon rind.
   • Cut in butter and margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Add vanilla and egg yolk; blend thoroughly.
   • Pat 1/3 of the dough onto the bottom of a 9-inch spring-form pan (sides removed).
   • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 8 minutes or until golden. Cool.
   • Attach the sides to the bottom of the pan. Butter and pat the remaining dough onto the sides to a height of 1 3/4 inches.

2. Make Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy.
   • Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and grated lemon rind; mix well.
   • In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and salt. Gradually blend into the cream cheese mixture.
   • Add eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
   • Gently stir in whipping cream.
   • Pour the filling into the crust-lined pan.

3. Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
   • Bake the cheesecake for 12 minutes.
   • Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and continue baking for 55 minutes.
   • Remove from the oven and allow to cool. After 30 minutes, loosen the sides with a spatula.
   • Remove the sides of the spring-form pan after 1 hour.
   • Allow the cheesecake to cool for an additional 2 hours.

4. Serve:

   • Serve the cheesecake plain or top with either Strawberry or Pineapple Glaze.

5. Strawberry Glaze:

   • In a saucepan, crush 1 cup of strawberries; add water and cook for 2 minutes.
   • Mix cornstarch with sugar (adjust sugar to taste based on the sweetness of the berries).
   • Stir into the hot berry mixture.
   • Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened and clear.
   • Cool to room temperature.
   • Place the remaining strawberries on top of the cooled cheesecake.
   • Pour the glaze over the strawberries and chill for about 2 hours.

6. Pineapple Glaze:

   • Combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan.
   • Stir in pineapple juice and grated lemon rind.
   • Heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
   • Cook and stir until thickened and clear.
   • Cool to room temperature.
   • Cut canned pineapple rings in half and arrange in a spoke fashion around the edge of the cheesecake.
   • Spoon the glaze over the pineapple rings and chill for 2 hours before serving.

Tips for Success:

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling texture.
• When making the crust, handle the dough gently to avoid overworking it, which can result in a tough crust.
• Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the glaze to enhance the flavor and natural sweetness.

Enjoy this Cheesecake Supreme for a special occasion or whenever you crave a luxurious dessert experience!
