Shalon scaled down and modified a cheesecake recipe to make this one her own. We all agree, it’s a winner!

Crust:
1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup confectioners sugar
6 tablespoons melted margarine
Cake:
4 packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ cups sugar
2 tablespoons plain flour
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 ½ teaspoon lemon peel
1 ½ teaspoon orange peel
¼ cup whipping cream
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Grease the sides of a springform pan. Form the crust in the bottom only. Combine ingredients for the cake. Pour cake batter over the crust. Cook at 500º F. for 10-15 minutes—no cracks. Then reduce heat to 250º F. for 1 hour. Turn off the oven—open the door. Let the cheesecake cool inside the oven.
