Best Ever Cheesecake image

This is the only cheesecake that I have found that has the shortdough crust and it is a good tasting cake. It takes time to make, but is well worth the time.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ cup butter
1 egg yolk, beaten
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
20 ounces cream cheese
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅝ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • To Make Dough Crust: Combine 1 cup of the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar and 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel. Cut in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the beaten egg yolk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Pat 1/3 of the dough into the bottom of one 9 inch springform pan with the sides removed. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 6 minutes. Let cool then butter sides of pan and attach to bottom. Pat the remaining dough evenly on the sides to a height of 2 inches.
  • To Make Filling: Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degree C). Stir cream cheese to soften, then beat until fluffy add 1/8 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel.
  • Mix 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, 1/8 teaspoon salt and the remaining sugar together. Gradually blend this mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Add the eggs and the egg yolk one at a time, beating well after each one. Gently stir in the heavy cream. Pour batter into the prepared crust.
  • Bake at 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) for 5 to 8 minutes or until top edge of crust is golden. Reduce heat to 200 degrees F (100 degrees C) and continue baking for 1 hour. Remove cake from oven and cool in pan for at least 3 hours. Remove sides of pan to serve.
