_ 3/4 cups sugar
_ tablespoons all-purpose flour

_ tablespoon grated lemon peel, if desired

___ cup whipping cream (heavy)
___ cup slivered almonds, toasted or fresh fruit, if desired
Crust:
_ cup all-purpose flour
___ cup butter or stick margarine, softened
___ cup sugar
_ large egg yolk
1. Make Crust.
2. Heat oven to 475°.
3. Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, orange peel, lemon peel and salt in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Beat in eggs, egg yolks and 1/4 cup whipping cream on low speed until well blended. Pour into crust.
4. Bake 15 minutes.
5. Reduce oven temperature to 200°. Bake 1 hour longer. Cheesecake may not appear to be done, but if a small area in the center seems soft, it will become firm as cheesecake cools. (Do not insert a knife to test for doneness because the hole could cause cheesecake to crack.) Turn off oven; leave cheesecake in oven 30 minutes longer. Remove from oven and cool in pan away from drafts on wire rack 30 minutes.
6. Without releasing or removing side of pan, run metal spatula carefully along side of cheesecake to loosen. Refrigerate uncovered about 3 hours or until chilled; cover and continue refrigerating at least 9 hours but no longer than 48 hours.
7. Run metal spatula along side of cheesecake to loosen again. Remove side of pan; leave cheesecake on pan bottom to serve. Beat 3/4 cup whipping cream in chilled small bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Spread whipped cream over top of cheesecake. Decorate with almonds. Store covered in refrigerator.
