Filling
- 40 ounces plain cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 grated lemon rind
- ½ teaspoons orange extract
- ¾ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
Crust
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cups sugar
- 1 ½ cups grahm cracker crumbs
Directions
Pour filling into spring form pan with grahm cracker crust, prepared in advance. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce oven heat to 250 degrees and bake for an additional 35-45 minutes (maybe even longer). Cake is done when cake feels bouncy to the touch and filling does not stick to a toothpick. Cool to room temperature.
Filling
Place first 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat on high power until completely blended. Add orange extract, vanilla and 2 egg yolks and beat again. Add eggs one at a time, beating well.
Crust
Coat 10 inch spring form pan liberally with oil or cooking spray. Mix ingredients together by hand until well blended and crumbs appear moist. Pour into pan and spread crumbs evenly across the bottom of the pan and pat down firmly.
