Serendipity's Creme De La Creme Cheesecake image

Serendipity is little restaurant in New York City, as featured in the movie Serendipity (with Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack). They are famous for their Frozen Hot Chocolate (Recipe #102685), but this cheesecake is a part of their many other desserts. I haven't tried it yet, but if it's from Serendipity, it just has to be good!

Time 2h15m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups walnuts, finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 lbs cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
6 large eggs
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°.
  • In a food processor, combine walnuts, butter and flour until smooth. Press lightly with your fingers into bottom of a 10" springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar on low speed until smooth. Do not overmix.
  • Slowly add vanilla and eggs; mix.
  • Add lemon juice and sour cream; mix just until batter is homogeneous.
  • Scrape batter into springform pan, tapping lightly on counter to get rid of air bubbles. Bake on middle rack of oven for 2 hours until all but the center is set. Remove from oven and immediately run a spatula around the edge of the pan to release cake from pan.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until firm. Remove springform ring. Store covered in refrigerator.
