Ingredients
- 1 lb Cream cheese
- 1 1/2 tb Vanilla
- 1 lb RICOTTA CHEESE
- 2 tb Lemon juice
- 2 ts LEMON PEEL grated
- 1 pt Sour cream
- 3 tb Flour
- 1 1/2 c Sugar
- 3 tb Cornstarch
- 4 jumbo EGGS
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 -degrees Place a pan of water on the lower rack of the oven. Beat together the cream cheese, ricotta and sour cream. Beat in the sugar. Beat in the remaining ingredients, one at a time. Everything must be very well combined. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch springform pan. If youd like, dust the pan with crushed graham crackers. It will make the cake come out easier but you wont actually have a crust. Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven. (DO NOT open oven door). Leave cheesecake in oven for 1 hour longer. Cool on a wire rack; refrigerate overnight. The next day, remove sides of springform pan. Top with sour cream, if desired.
