Directions:
- Gather filling ingredients aside to bring to room temperature.
- CRUST:.
- Grease and sugar a 9-inch springform pan (like you would grease and flour a cake pan).
- In small mixer bowl, mix crust ingredients (best to chop the wafers and nuts in a food processor. Press mixture onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes at 325 degrees F.
- FILLING:
- Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees F. Place a pan of water on the lowest oven rack and spritz the top and sides of the oven with water.
- Melt chocolate and set aside.
- Beat cream cheese until fluffy on low speed. Scraping sides of bowl constantly, slowly incorporate the other ingredients in this order: sugar, chocolate, extract, zest, juices, food coloring, eggs (one at a time), and flour.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Decrease temperature to 215 degrees F and cook for another 50-60 minutes or until the sides look firm and the center is still jiggly.
- Leave in the oven with the door slightly propped open until the pan is cool, and then transfer to the refrigerator (do not cover). Flavors peak after about 24-36 hours of refrigeration.
- DECORATE (before serving):
- Melt the remaining chocolate and drizzle over the top with a fork.
- Whip the cream and flavor with lemon peel and vanilla. Sweeten to taste. Pipe around the edge of the cheesecake.
- Tips:
- Do not open the oven door until close to the end of the baking time.
- Before baking, drop the cake on the counter repeatedly to bring air bubbles to the surface. Draw a sharp knife in the filling in a S shape to draw up bubbles.
