Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Lb Cream Cheese -- 1 kg
1 1/2 C Sugar -- 375 g, 12 oz
4 Eggs
5 Oz White Chocolate -- melted, 155 g
1 Whole Lemon Zest
1 Lemon Juice -- from 1 whole lemon
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

White Chocolate Cheesecake is made without a crust, but not without lots
of flavor. Actually, it's also made without chocolate, because white
chocolate isn't really chocolate at all: it's cocoa butter, milk, sugar
and vanilla. Sometimes it's difficult to work with, so I recommend you
put it over very low heat on the stove only until it begins to melt and
then just let it finish melting from the heat of the water bath.

Preheat the oven to 350 deg F/175 deg C/gas mark 4. Grease well a 9"/23
cm springform pan and line it with aluminum foil.

In an electric mixer, blend the cream cheese on meduim speed until smooth.
Scrape the sides and bottom well. Add the sugar and blend. Add the eggs
one at a time, mixing after each addition. With the motor running,
drizzle in the white chocolate. Scrape the sides and bottom again and mix
well.

Add the lemon zest and juice and the vanilla. Mix again. Scrape the
sides and bottom and blends again.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour, or until a tester
inserted in the center of the cheesecake comes out clean. Set aside for
10 - 15 min before refrigerating. Chill for at least 4 hours before
serving.

Serves 8 - 12
