Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For crust:
  2. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9” springform pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine graham crumbs, butter and sugar – mix well.
  4. Press crumbs into bottom and halfway up sides of pan and bake at 375 until golden, about 8 minutes.
  5. Set aside to cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  6. NOTE: If you haven't invested in a pestle yet, go out and get yourself one...pressing crusts into pans/muffin tins is SO MUCH easier with that little tool!
  7. For cheesecake filling:
  8. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  9. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar, zests, and vanilla - beat until light and creamy.
  10. Add the flour, then the eggs and the additional yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  11. Add the sour cream and mix until smooth.
  12. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes at 500. Reduce oven temp to 200 and bake for 1 hour.
  13. DON'T PANIC when you see how brown the top of the cheesecake becomes...this is what it SHOULD do.
  14. Turn off the oven and open the oven door - allow cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour before transferring the pan to a cooking rack to cool completely before refrigerating.
  15. It is best if refrigerated overnight or at least 10 hours.
  16. Serve plain or with a strawberry sauce.
  17. Optional Strawberry Sauce:
  18. 2 pints fresh strawberries, stem removed, fruit chopped into large chunks
  19. 3/4 cup sugar
  20. 1 cup water
  21. 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  22. 1 teaspoon finely graeted orange zest
  23. 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
  24. In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, water, and zest; cook until strawberries are soft and liquid is thickened, about 10 minutes.
  25. Stir in the liqueur and cook 1 more minute.
  26. Serve chilled or at room temperature
