New York Italian Style Cheesecake

By: jillschro

"This recipe was given to me by my Italian mother-in-law. It is the type of crustless cheesecake that is sold in Italian bakeries in New York. I usually make it with whole-milk ricotta which is creamier than low fat. This is not a diet item! You can add fresh fruit topping if you desire."

Ingredients

1 pound cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
