If you've ever had some New York cheesecake (in New York City, please!), this is exactly like that. If you like it, you'll love this one but this has a hint of citrus flavor.

Also, again, this is super rich, next time I will use just two packages of cream cheese instead of three, but for people who don't think NY cheesecake is rich then just go for it. Instead of using this crust recipe, I used a crust recipe from "Bake Sale Lemon Bars" and added some lemon juice and zest. I just like their crust and it tasted great but if I make this recipe again, I'll try the crust recipe from this recipe or the chocolate one since some reviewers mentioned it was good. I used a springfoam pan and baked in a hot water bath (no crack!) but it took 75-80 minutes for me to finish baking. I also wanted to take this cake to a party and baked it in the afternoon. But it still wasn't set after four hours so I gave up bringing it but I was glad I didn't because it probably wasn't ready and wouldn't have come out as good unless you rest it overnight. I don't really care for this type of cheesecake because it's just so rich and sweet, but I'm sure some people will love this.
