How to Make New York Cheesecake With Lorna Doone Cookie Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. **Make the crust:**
  3. Finely crush one 14.1-ounce package of Lorna Doone cookies using a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
  4. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter.
  5. Combine the crushed cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until evenly moistened.
  6. Butter the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
  7. Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Create an even layer.
  8. **Make the filling:**
  9. In a large bowl, beat 3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  10. Gradually add 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  11. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
  12. Add the zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange.
  13. Add 5 large eggs and 2 large egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  14. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  15. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. The pan will be completely full.
  16. Place the springform pan in a larger, shallow baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
  17. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
  18. Reduce oven temperature to 250°F (120°C) and continue baking for approximately 75-90 minutes, or until the cheesecake is mostly set around the edges but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  19. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to gradually cool.
  20. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  21. Run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan.
  22. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Remove the side of the springform pan.
  23. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
