Lindy's New York Cheesecake

5 stars based on 10 reviews
Ready in: Over 5 hrs ?
Difficulty: 4/5
Serves/Makes: 14
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup flour, sifted
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup butter, softened
5 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
1 3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup heavy cream
frozen strawberries, thawed
DIRECTIONS:
In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla. Make well in center; add egg yolk and butter. Mix with fingertips until dough cleans side of bowl. Form into a ball and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease the bottom and side of a 9-inch springform pan. Remove the side from the pan. Roll one third of dough on bottom of springform pan; trim edge of dough. Bake 8 - 10 minutes, or until golden.
Meanwhile, divide dough into 3 parts. Roll each part into a 2 1/2" strip, 10" long. Put together springform pan, with the baked crust on the bottom. Fit dough strips to side of pan, joining ends to line inside completely. Trim dough so it comes only 3/4 of the way up side of pan. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
Make Filling: In a large bowl of electric mixer, combine cheese, sugar, flour, lemon and orange peel, and vanilla. Beat at high speed, just to blend. Beat in eggs and egg yolks, one at a time. Add cream, beating just until well combined. Pour mixture into springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 250 degrees F. and bake 1 hour longer.
Let cheesecake cool on wire rack. Glaze top with strawberries. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. To serve, loosen pastry from side of pan with spatula. Remove side of springform pan. Cut cheesecake into wedges.

I actually have the page from McCall's Magazine with this terriffic cheesecake recipe. It's been a family favorite for years (though I don't make it very often any more). I use the pineapple topping recipe that McCalls included with the cheesecake recipe. I have a question/request.... McCalls also published a great recipe for Chicken Breast with Lobster Bisque sauce served with carrots and sugar-snap peas. I have lost my recipe and would dearly love to have it if anyone can locate this or happens to have it in their archives. Thanks. I'm so glad I found this site!

I've been making this cheesecake recipe for about 10 years now and it is the best I have found, actually I've quit looking. It is the most requested dessert that I prepare.

I've always loved the Lindy's style cheesecake. I've used recipes similar to this for years. I always tweak it a little bit, of course. For example, on this try, I used flavored coffee creamer in place of heavy cream, added a little bit of lemon juice, and didn't use a crust. Most of the time, I add a sour cream topping. I reduce the temp to 225, increase the bake time by about 20 minutes, mix a half teaspoon of vanilla and a quarter cup of sugar into a 16 ounce tub of sour cream and spread it over during the last 20 minutes of baking.... it's awesome if you're using an unfamiliar oven and your cheesecake cracks, because this f... read more

This is a great cheesecake recipe! I usually make this without the crust and for those on a gluten free diet - the flour in the recipe can be substituted with tapioca flour. Be careful you get your springform pan bottom back - many people do not know what this really is & will sometimes discard it. A waxed cardboard form in the bottom of the pan will let you slide it off onto a plate and keep your cake pan safe.

I've been using this recipe for many years. I have used this recipe from an old (when copiers were new) photocopy from McCall's. This is the real thing! Current taste calls for strawberries. However, the more traditional toppings are pineapple glaze or sour cream, Creme fresh is great, too.

This is a recipe I used for over 30 years. It is the best ever. Well worth time involved.

If you really want to impress your guests, serve this. It is a lot of work but it is the BEST cheesecake you will ever make, guaranteed.

I love the looks of this cheesecake, a work of art..so pretty, It has a wonderful texture. BUT this was a lot of work for a "so-so" taste. It lacked the "cheesy" flavor I'm used to. I keep going over the recipe to see if there was something I missed. As I was making it, I even put a tad more lemon and orange zest and a little more vanilla, but it didnt help. However, the crust part of it was wonderful and I will use it with another recipe. (Its much better than graham cracker in that it dosnt take away from the flavor of the cheesecake.) I'm really dissappointed and would not make this again.
