Description

This light and healthy cheesecake has the fresh flavors of summer; orange, lemon and lime.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 20 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
  • ¾ cups Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 3  Eggs
  • 3  Egg Yolks
  • ⅔ cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
  • ½  Orange, Zested
  • 1  Lemon, Zested
  • 1  Lime, Zested

Preparation

1. In a medium sized bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, and butter until crumbly; about 1 minute. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 325 F/163 C. In a large bowl using a mixer combine the cream cheese, sugar, and salt and mix on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth; about 3 minutes.
3. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks together in a medium sized bowl and then gradually add them into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
4. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, the juices of orange, lemon, lime and the zest of orange, lemon and lime. Mix until fully incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 50 minutes to an hour or until the cheesecake is fully set. Remove pan from the oven and set it on a rack. Completely cool cake in the pan on the rack, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
