24 oz. cream cheese

4 eggs

2 1/4 c. + 2/3 c. granulated sugar

2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

5 tsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. lemon peel, freshly grated

(optional)

16 graham cracker squares (8 full

1/4 c. confectioners' sugar

Recipe



Combine cream cheese, eggs, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla, lemon peel and 4 teaspoons lemon juice. Mix for 20 minutes at medium
speed with electric mixer. Crush crackers and combine with confectioners' sugar
and melted butter. Press into bottom of 2-piece removable-bottom angel food
cake pan to form crust. (Do not line sides of pan with crust.) Pour cheese mixture
into pan on top of crust and bake 35-40 minutes in 350 degree oven. Cool for 30
minutes.

Frost with sour cream which has been mixed with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1
teaspoon of vanilla extract and green food coloring. Return to 425 degree oven for
7-10 minutes. Chill in refrigerator at least 6 hours. At least 8 hours before cake is
to be served, remove from pan. Combine cornstarch, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 1
teaspoon lemon juice, red food coloring and crushed strawberries in a saucepan.
Cook until thick and glossy, stirring constantly.

Cool, pour on cake and chill in refrigerator until cake is to be served. Garnish the
hole in the center with silk flowers.
