Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/4-inch bits

For the filling

  • 1 1⁄4 lbs softened cream cheese
  • 3⁄4 cup sugar
  • 1 1⁄2 tbsp flour
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions
 

To make Crust:

  • Add butter, egg yolk, sugar, flour, grated lemon rind, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.
  • Make a ball by rubbing the ingredients together with your fingertips until well combined.
  • Chill dough for at least 1 hour after dusting with flour and wrapping in waxed paper.
  • Using a 9 x 2-inch springform pan, butter and flour the bottom. In order to cover the bottom of the pan, roll out a piece of dough that is 1/4 inch thick.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake the bread until it is a light brown colour (about 10-15 minutes).
  • It is important to let the bottom and sides of the pan cool completely. Spread a little butter on the pan's sides.
  • Spread more cookie dough on the pan's sides and line them. Cut off any excess dough around the edges of the pan.

To make Filling:

  • Beat cream cheese vigorously with a wooden spoon in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Adding sugar a few tablespoons at a time will make it more creamy.
  • Stir in flour, lemon juice, eggs, vanilla,  egg yolks, and heavy cream after the sugar is well incorporated.
  • Preheat the oven to 485° to 500°F (hot oven enhances colour) Yes, this is the right temperature.
  • Using the cookie dough-lined pan, pour the filling into the centre of the oven and bake until a dark brown colour is achieved. There should also be a slight rise in the cake.
  • Let the cake cool for 30 minutes after removing it from the oven.
  • Turn the oven down to 350°F.
  • When the cheesecake has cooled for 30 minutes, bake it again for the final baking step (this process creates a set cheesecake).
