This is a recipe that I found in TOH and plan on making for our Easter dessert. I changed the crust to one I had tried earlier this year using shortbread cookies, really made the cheesecake extra special. Time doesn't include the time for chilling.
Place a 9-in. springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 inches square). Securely wrap foil around pan; set aside.
Make crust:
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together on medium high speed for 3-4 minutes.
Add flour and ground cookies to the mixture and blend for 3-4 seconds until fully incorporated.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust at 350° F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the crust to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cream and vanilla until well blended. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in white chocolate and peel. Pour into crust.
Place pan in a large baking pan; add 1 inches of hot water to larger pan. Bake at 325° for 65-85 minutes or until center is just set and top appears dull.
Remove pan from water bath. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
