Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, room temperature
1 egg white
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 ⅔ cups white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
⅔ cup orange marmalade
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Butter a 9 inch springform pan. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon peel and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour and 1/3 cup sugar. Add butter and process until coarse crumbs form. With machine running, add yolk mixture and blend until moist clumps form. Press dough onto bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of prepared pan. Freeze crust 10 minutes.
  • Brush crust lightly with egg white. Bake until crust is pale golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on rack while preparing filling. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 2/3 cups sugar until smooth. Beat in cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, orange zest, lime zest, 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream. Pour filling into crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until puffed and cracked around edges and center moves only slightly when pan is gently shaken. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, boil marmalade and 2 teaspoons lemon juice until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Spread warm glaze on top of cake. Chill cake 10 minutes. Remove pan sides and transfer cake to serving plate.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

I made this cheesecake for a potluck and it was gone in minutes! Everyone loved it. I used a gluten-free graham cracker crust and it worked perfectly. The filling was creamy and smooth, and the citrus flavor was just right.

I've made this cheesecake several times and it's always a hit! It's the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the crust is always perfect. I love that I can use different citrus fruits to change up the flavor.

I was disappointed with this cheesecake. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too dense. I also found the citrus flavor to be overpowering.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best cheesecake he's ever had. I think next time I'll use less lemon zest.
