Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | CREAM CHEESE |
| 1½ | tablespoon | VANILLA |
| 1 | pounds | RICOTTA CHEESE |
| 2 | tablespoons | LEMON JUICE |
| 2 | teaspoons | LEMON PEEL; grated |

| 1½ | cup | SUGAR |
| 3 | tablespoons | CORNSTARCH |

Directions
~Preheat oven to 350 -degrees Place a pan of water on the lower rack of the oven.
Beat together the cream cheese, ricotta and sour cream. Beat in the sugar.
Beat in the remaining ingredients, one at a time. Everything must be very well combined.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch springform pan. If you'd like, dust the pan with crushed graham crackers. It will make the cake come out easier but you won't actually have a crust.
Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour.
Turn off the oven. (DO NOT open oven door). Leave cheesecake in oven for 1 hour longer. Cool on a wire rack; refrigerate overnight.
The next day, remove sides of springform pan. Top with sour cream, if desired.
