How to Make Yummy Citrus Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the zest and juice of 1 orange and 1 lemon, and mix well.
  5. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter over the prepared crust.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is almost set. The edges should be set, but the center will still have a slight jiggle.
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate overnight for best results.
  9. Garnish with fresh berries before serving.
