New York-Style Cheesecake Recipe

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 90 minutes

Crumb Crust:

2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (56 to 60 wafers)
2 egg whites, lightly beaten

Filling:

5 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 eggs, room temperature
2 egg yolks, room temperature
1/4 cup whipping cream

Heat oven to 300°F.

For crust:

In medium bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs and egg whites until evenly moistened. Press evenly and firmly against bottom and 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches up sides of greased 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate.

For filling:

In mixer bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, lemon peel and vanilla. Beat on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed until fluffy. Add eggs and egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add cream and beat until blended. Pour into chilled crust.

Bake in center of oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or until wooden pick inserted midway between center and edge of cake comes out clean. Center will still be soft, but will firm up as cheesecake cools.

Remove from oven and carefully loosen edge of cake from pan with metal spatula or thin knife. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Refrigerate, loosely covered, until firm, at least 8 hours or overnight. Yields 12 to 16 servings.
