New York Cheesecake
- 1 1 crumb-crust recipe, made with finely ground graham crackers
- 5 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Finely grated zest of 1 orange
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 5 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Make crumb crust as directed in separate recipe.
- Preheat oven to 550F.
- Beat together cream cheese, sugar, flour, and zests with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add eggs and yolks, 1 at a time, then vanilla, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated and scraping down bowl between additions.
- Put springform pan with crust in a shallow baking pan.
- Pour filling into crust (springform pan will be completely full) and bake in baking pan (to catch drips) in middle of oven 12 minutes, or until puffed.
- Reduce temperature to 200F and continue baking until cake is mostly firm (center will still be slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken), about 1 hour more.
- Run a knife around top edge of cake to loosen and cool completely in springform pan on a rack.
- Chill cake, loosely covered, at least 6 hours.
- Remove side of pan and transfer cake to a plate.
- Bring to room temperature before serving.
