- Beat softened cream cheese until creamy. Add vanilla. Mix next 4 ingredients,(note: important to put lemon peel in flour to coat it), gradually blend in cheese.
- Add eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating after each just to blend. Gently stir in whipping cream. Turn into crust-lined pan.
- Bake at 450°F for 12 minutes; reduce heat to 300F and continue baking for 1 hour. May need a little time longer because of water. (NOTE: If cheesecake is getting too brown cover top with foil with hole torn out of the center so that middle of cheesecake continues baking).
