LEMON CHEESECAKE
A cookie-like crust brings this luscious Lemon Cheesecake recipe to a league of its own. The thick and sweet bottom layer is created by pressing lemon-infused cake mix into a 10-inch pan. A small portion of that lemony mix is then combined with cream cheese, sugar, lemon pudding and sour cream to create an extra dense and creamy cheesecake filling with a splash of citrus. Pipe some whipped topping onto the finished masterpiece after it's baked and cooled, and you'll have yourself a sunny dessert that tastes like a dream.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 300°F. Spray bottom and side of 10-inch springform pan with baking spray with flour. Wrap foil around outside of pan to catch drips. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cake mix; set aside. In large bowl, beat remaining cake mix, oil, 1 egg and lemon peel with electric mixer on low speed until crumbly. Press in bottom and 1 inch up side of pan.
- In same large bowl, beat reserved cake mix, the cream cheese, sugar, pudding and sour cream on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in 3 eggs, one at a time, until mixed. Pour over crust.
- Bake 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes or until edges are set but center of cheesecake jiggles slightly when moved. Turn oven off; open oven door at least 4 inches. Leave cheesecake in oven 30 minutes longer.
- Remove cheesecake from oven; place on cooling rack. Without releasing side of pan, run knife around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Cover loosely; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Remove side of pan before serving. Pipe or spoon whipped topping around outside edge of cheesecake. Store covered in refrigerator.
