Italian Ricotta Cheesecake

Ingredients

1 pound CREAM CHEESE
1 1/2 tablespoons VANILLA
2 tablespoons LEMON JUICE
2 teaspoons LEMON PEEL, grated
1 pint SOUR CREAM
3 tablespoons FLOUR
1 1/2 cups SUGAR
3 tablespoons CORNSTARCH
4 Jumbo EGGS

Preparation

1
Preheat oven to 350 -degrees Place a pan of water on the lower rack of the oven.
2
Beat together the cream cheese, ricotta and sour cream. Beat in the sugar.
3
Beat in the remaining ingredients, one at a time. Everything must be very well combined.
4
Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch springform pan. If you'd like, dust the pan with crushed graham crackers. It will make the cake come out easier but you won't actually have a crust.
5
Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour.
6
Turn off the oven. (DO NOT open oven door). Leave cheesecake in oven for 1 hour longer. Cool on a wire rack; refrigerate overnight.
7
The next day, remove sides of springform pan. Top with sour cream, if desired.
