Cheesecake Al Limoncello image

I had a almost full bottle of Limoncello in my refrigerator and I wanted to use some of it up. I love cheesecake so while searching the web I found this one on recipegoldmine.com. Very good! Lemoncello is an italian lemon liqueur.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup vanilla wafer
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
32 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
4 eggs
1/2 cup limoncello
2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Crust: Crumb the cookies, mix with the graham cracker crumbs and melt butter and press the mixture in the bottom and about an inch up the sides of a 9 1/2-inch springform pan.
  • Batter: Beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time without excessive beating to avoid removing the air, followed by mixing in the remaining batter ingredients.
  • Pour into the pan and bake at 350F for about an hour or until the center of the surface is somewhat solid.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Topping: Mix together the sour cream, sugar and limoncello and spread evenly over the top.
