    Recipe



    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    Place 2/3 cup flour and 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor, and pulse 2
    times or until combined. Add chilled margarine; pulse 6 times or until mixture
    resembles coarse meal. With processor on, slowly pour ice water through food
    chute, processing just until blended (do not allow dough to form a ball).
    Firmly press mixture into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan coated with
    cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes; let cool on a wire rack.

    Preheat oven to 525 degrees or to highest oven setting. Combine cheeses in a
    large bowl; beat at high speed of a mixer until smooth. Add 1-3/4 cups sugar
    and next 5 ingredients (sugar through salt); beat well. Add eggs, 1 at a time,
    beating well after each addition.

    Pour cheese mixture into prepared pan; bake at 525 degrees for 7 minutes.
    Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees, and bake 45 minutes or until almost
    set.

    Remove cheesecake from oven, and let cool to room temperature. Cover and chill
    at least 8 hours. Garnish with lemon zest, orange slices, and lemon slices, if
    desired. Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 wedge).
