Double Lemon Cheesecake



Ingredients:

1 cup finely crushed NILLA Wafers
3 Tbsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
4 eggs, divided
3 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. grated lemon peel
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions:
PREHEAT oven to 325°F if using a silver 9-inch
springform pan (or to 300°F if using a dark non-
stick 9-inch springform pan). Mix crumbs, 3
Tbsp. sugar and the butter; press firmly onto
bottom of pan. Bake 10 min.
SEPARATE one of the eggs. Cover and refrigerate
egg yolk for later use. Set egg white aside. Beat
cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, the flour, lemon peel,
2 Tbsp. lemon juice and the vanilla in large bowl
with electric mixer on medium speed until well
blended. Add egg white and remaining 3 whole
eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after
each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.
BAKE 50 to 55 min. or until center is almost set.
Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to
loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan.
Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
MIX 3/4 cup sugar and cornstarch in medium
saucepan; gradually stir in 1/2 cup water and
1/4 cup juice until well blended. Bring just to
boil on medium heat, stirring constantly; cook
and stir until clear and thickened. Beat reserved
egg yolk lightly with fork. Stir in 2 Tbsp. of the
hot cornstarch mixture. Return to remaining
cornstarch mixture in saucepan; mix until well
blended. Cook 1 min. or until thickened, stirring
constantly. Cool slightly. Spoon glaze over cheese-
cake. Refrigerate until set.
