- Yield: 1 cake
Ingredients:
- 5 packages of cream cheese
- 1 3/4 cups of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 3/4 tablespoon of fresh lemon rind
- 3/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 teaspoon of grated orange rind
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
Instructions:
- Preparation: Start by greasing a 10-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.
- Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss the mixture evenly onto the sides and bottom of the greased pan, forming the crust.
- Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups of sugar, flour, lemon rind, orange rind, and salt until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Creamy Texture: Pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined.
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (163ยฐC). Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Bake Time: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour. Keep an eye on the cheesecake and continue baking until the top is cracked and fairly dry, which may take an additional 10 to 20 minutes.
- Cooling: Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
- Chilling: For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake for several hours or overnight before serving to allow it to set properly.
- Serving: Slice and serve your creamy cheesecake chilled, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
