Dreamy Creamy California Cheesecake
Why I Love This Recipe
I call this a California cheesecake only because of the wonderful hint of orange and lemon in the filling. It is very delicious and the texture is creamy and dreamy. As it does not have a crust, it is exceedingly light and a good choice for dessert after a hardy meal.
Ingredients You'll Need
3 pkg. cream cheese, room temperature (8 oz each)
2 cups sour cream
1 cup sugar
2 T. flour
5 eggs

2 t. grated lemon peel

Serve with fresh strawberries glazed with currant jelly or with frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed.
