Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. These are the main ingredients I used to make the crust. I decided to use Lemon Emulsion also for extra added lemon flavor.
• 2. INSTEAD OF MIXING THE CRUST BY HAND, I DECIDED TO USE MY FOOD PROCESSOR. Add the flour, sugar, lemon zest to a food processor or medium size bowl. Then using a pastry blender cut the butter into the flour mixture, or AS I DID CUT BUTTER INTO PATS AND ADD IT TO THE FOOD PROCESSOR AND PULSE UNTIL MIXTURE IS CRUMBLY.
• 3. THEN ADD THE EGG YOLK VANILLA BEAN PASTE, & LEMON EMULSION AND BLEND THROUGHLY UNTIL DOUGH COMES TOGETHER.
• 4. Pat a third of dough on the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan, until dough covers the entire bottom of pan, but REMOVE SIDES FIRST.
• 5. BAKE IN PREHEATED 400 DEGREE OVEN FOR 8 MINUTES OR UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN. Please contain yourself as you inhale the aroma from the crust while it bakes.
• 6. Allow bottom to cool then attach the sides of pan to the bottom, and pat the remainder of the dough to the sides of the pan to a height of about 1 3/4 inches. Then set aside till needed.
• 7. FILLING: TO MAKE THE FILLING, Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature. I leave mine out overnight. Add the cream cheese to a large stand mixer, then add in the lemon Zest, and Vanilla Bean Paste.
• 8. Beat the cream cheese mixture until creamy. Combine the sugar, flour & salt in a medium mixing bowl. Then gradually add it to the cream cheese.
• 9. Add the 5 large eggs plus the 2 egg yolks to a separate bowl. Now beat in one at a time, beating well after each addition, just until blended together.
• 10. Now switch from beater to a large spatula and gently stir in the whipping cream into cream cheese mixture until blended together.
• 11. Add filling to the crust lined Pan, & bake at 450 degrees F. for 12 minutes. Please note cake will rise well above top of cake pan during baking.
• 12. Then, Reduce oven temp to 300 degrees F. and continue baking for 55 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Then loosen sides of pan, and run a spatula around the sides of the pan, BUT LEAVE SIDES ON PAN. Remove sides after 1 hour. Allow to cool for 2 additional hours, then refrigerate to chill completely. Top with your favorite fruit filling, and serve.
• 13. PLEASE NOTE THE ORIGINAL RECIPE DID NOT SAY TO USE A WATER BATH, BUT I DO PLAN TO USE ONE THE NEXT TIME I MAKE THIS RECIPE TO PREVENT THE CRACKS IN THE SURFACE. The cracks do become smaller as the cake cools down, plus it is covered with fruit, but creating moisture in the oven should prevent the cracks all together.

Steps:

• To prepare crust, combine flour, sugar, and lemon peel. Cut in butter until crumbly, and then add egg and vanilla. Pat just enough into the bottom of a 9" springform pan (with sides removed) to cover. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 7 minutes or until golden; cool.
• Butter the sides of the pan and attach to bottom. Pat remaining dough onto the sides of the pan to a height of 1 3/4" and set aside. Note: you may have extra dough left, and if so discard. I doubled the crust recipe because I found the original did not make enough.
• For the filling, in a large mixer bowl beat the cream cheese, lemon peel, and vanilla until fluffy. Stir together the sugar, flour and salt and then gradually stir into the cream cheese mixture. Add eggs and egg yolk all at once, beating at low speed until just combined. Stir in mulk, and pour into crust-lined pan.
• Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 300 and bake for 50-55 minutes more or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes, then loosen sides of cheesecake from pan with a spatula. Cool another 30 minutes and then remove sides of pan. Cool about 2 hours longer, then chill thoroughly before topping with pie filling.

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Line side of pan with 4-inch-wide strip of parchment.
• Reserve 8 strawberries for garnish; cut remaining berries into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Stand largest strawberry slices around edge of prepared pan; finely chop remaining strawberry slices.
