List of Ingredients




1 pound ricotta cheese
1 pound cream cheese
1 1/2 cups granulates sugar
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon extract
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 cups sour cream
graham cracker crumbs


Recipe



n a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream ricotta cheese and cream cheese. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla and lemon extract; mix well. Add flour and cornstarch, then add melted butter. Fold in sour cream.

Grease an 9 inch springform pan and sprinkle generously with graham cracker crumbs. Pour cheese mixture into pan.


Bake in a preheated oven for 325F for 1 hour. Then turn off the heat and leave the cake in oven for 2 hours. Do not open the oven door for 3 hours after the cake is placed in the oven -- this is the most important step of the recipe.

After 3 hours, remove cheesecake from oven and cool completely.

Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Makes 12 to 15 servings.
