Cheesecake Supreme
1 ¾ c. finely crushed
graham crackers
½ t. ground cinnamon
½ c. butter, melted
3 8-ounce pkgs. Cream
cheese,softened
1 c. sugar
2 T. flour
1 t. vanilla
¼ c. finely chopped
walnuts
½ t. lemon juice
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
¼ c. milk
For crust, in a medium
bowl, stir together crushed graham crackers, walnuts and cinnamon. Stir in butter. Press crumb mixture onto the bottom and about 2 inches up sides
of an 8 or 9 inch springform pan, set aside.
For filling, in a large
mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, vanilla, and lemon juice; beat
with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add whole eggs and egg yolk all at once,
beating on low speed just until combined (do not overbeat). Stir in milk.
Pour filling into crust lined
pan. Place on a shallow baking
pan. Bake 375 degree oven for 45-50
minutes for 8 inch pan, or 35-40 minutes for 9 inch pan, or until center
appears nearly set when gently shaken.
Cool in the pan on a wire
rack for 15 minutes. Using a sharp,
thin bladed knife to loosen the crust from the sides of the pan, cool for 30
minutes more. Remove the sides of the
pan, cool cheesecake completely. Cover
and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
Top cheesecake with your favorite topping if desired. Makes 12-16 servings.
