This is a super simple cheesecake. It needs no water bath, it's really tasty and creamy. If you can't find Bellwether Farms Fromage Blanc, use another high quality cream cheese. Ingredients:
8 1/2 ounces vanilla wafer |
5 ounces unsalted butter, melted |
18 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature |
10 ounces bellewether farms fromage blanc, or other high quality cream cheese, at room temperature |
3/4 cup sugar |
4 eggs |
1 teaspoon good quality vanilla extract (not imitation) |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon lemon zest (zest first, juice second) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. For the crust: Put the wafers into a food processor and process until fine. Pour into a bowl and stir in the melted butter. Press into a spring form pan, molding the crumbs up the sides. Bake at 325 degrees F for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
2. For the cheesecake: Beat together the cheeses and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the vanilla, lemon juice, zest and salt. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust. Bake at 325 degrees F for 20 - 30 minutes. Edges should puff and the center will wobble slightly.
3. Cool and serve.
4. LindySez: Can be made at least a day in advance. Bring out of the refrigerator about an hour before you want to serve.
