Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups crushed lemon cream-filled sandwich cookies
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Combine the cookie crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom of a lightly greased 9-in. springform pan. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until crust just begins to brown. Cool pan on a wire rack.
  • In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in the lemon juice, butter and peel. Cool to room temperature without stirring.
  • In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over lemon juice; let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture until combined. Fold in the whipped cream and lemon peel.
  • Spoon three-fourths of cheesecake mixture into crust; build up edges slightly. Chill for 5 minutes. Spoon lemon filling over cheesecake layer to within 1/2 in of edges. Top with remaining cheesecake mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Carefully run a knife around edge of pan; remove sides of pan.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.
