Lemon, rind of 1 lemon
Butter 1/2 cup
Margarine 1/4 cup
Vanilla 1 teaspoon
Cream cheese 5 packages (8 oz each)
Vanilla 1 teaspoon
Lemon, rind of 1 lemon
Sugar 3/4 cup
Flour 1/4 cup
Salt 1/4 teaspoon
Eggs 4
Fresh strawberries 2 cups
Water 1/4 cup
Cornstarch 2 tablespoons
Sugar 1/4 cup
Sugar 2 tablespoons
Cornstarch 1 tablespoon
Lemon, rind of 1 lemon

Instructions:

  1. Make Crust:

    • 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!
