Lemon Cheesecake

Cooking Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and the butter or margarine, and press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch loose-bottomed or spring-form pan. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

2. Preheat the oven to 300.

3. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, egg whites, whole eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, lemon rind, and lemon juice. Process the ingredients until they are smooth. Add the flour, and process the mixture a few seconds longer to blend the ingredients thoroughly. Pour the filling into the prepared chilled crust.

4. Bake the cake for 1 hour or until the filling has set. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. Loosen the edges of the cake with a think knife before removing the sides (but not the bottom) of the pan from the cake. Place the cake on a serving platter, and garnish it with lemon slices.
