2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large eggs
1/2 pint heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Lemon rind, optional

I use a chocolate wafer crust . Put into a 9-inch springform pan and bake 1 hour or so (till slightly browned at edges) at 350 degrees F. Don't over-bake...tends to dry out the cake.

Can also bake in 2 ready made crusts (graham or chocolate). Adjust time if making 2 pies to 30 minutes.
