List of Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter or margarine -- melted
4 packages cream cheese -- (8-ounce) at room
temperature
3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup flour
5 eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
Recipe
To make crust, in a small bowl stir together graham cracker crumbs
and butter until well blended. Press mixture evenly onto bottom and
sides of a greased 9-inch springform pan; set aside. Preheat oven to
350°F To make filling, combine cream cheese, honey and flour in
bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Beat in cream, lemon zest and
vanilla.
Pour cream cheese mixture over crust; bake 15 minutes. Lower oven
temperature to 200°F and bake 1 hour and 30 minutes longer or until
center no longer looks wet or shiny. Turn oven off. Let cheesecake
cool in oven 1 hour with oven door ajar. Remove cheesecake to a
rack to cool completely. To prevent top of cheesecake from cracking
during cooling, run a knife around the edge of the pan so that cake
can
pull away freely as it contracts. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake for
at least 4 hours before serving.
