This is the best cheesecake recipe I have ever come across. If you
like Eli's cheesecake, you'll love this recipe. If you are on a diet,
skip over this recipe!!!

Ingredients:

	2.5 lbs of cream cheese at room temp
	1 3/4 granulated sugar
	3 Tbs. all-purpose flour
	Zest of 1 lemon
	Zest of 1 orange
	1/4 reaspoon vanilla extract
	5 eggs
	2 additional egg yokes
	1/4 cup whipping cream
	9-inch springform pan lined generously with butter and patted
	       with graham cracker crumbs

Directions:

Heat oven to 500 degrees. Prepare springform pan. With and electric beater,
mix the cheese, sugar, flour, orange and lemon zests and vanilla until
smooth. Add the eggs and yokes, beating in one at a time, and finally the
cream.

Pour the mixture into the prepared springform pan and bake for 10 minutes or
until the top of the cake turns golden brown. Reduce oven temperature to
200-225 and bake for one hour longer.

Remove cake from oven and cool on a rack until it reaches room temperature.
Then release the sides of the pan. Do not remove the bottom of the pan.
Place cake on a platter. Top with fruit or glaze, if desired, and serve.
