Recipes..LEMON WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cups (6.25 ounces) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon lemon zest
8 tablespoons (1/2 cup, 4 ounces) cold butter, cut into chunks
CHEESECAKE FILLING:
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened (full fat cream cheese not light cream cheese)
1 1/4 cups (9.25 ounces) granulated sugar
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2-3 lemons � zest them before juicing; you�ll need the zest later)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces white baking chocolate, melted and cooled to room temperature (see note)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Sweetened whipped cream and lemon slices for garnish (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and make sure an oven rack is in the middle position (with another oven rack one level lower for a pan of water).
FOR THE CRUST, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar and lemon zest. Toss in the butter cubes and cut the butter into the dry ingredients with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. Press the crust mixture onto the bottom and about an inch up the sides of a 9- or 10-inch springform pan. I find it easiest to press the mixture around the sides of the pan before spreading the rest evenly over the bottom and pressing lightly (with the bottom of a measuring cup).
Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
Place a pan of hot water on the lowest rack below the rack where the cheesecake will bake and let the water heat up while preparing the cheesecake filling. I use a metal 9X13-inch baking pan filled 3/4 full � it�s easiest to fill the pan with water after the pan is placed on the oven rack to minimize spillage.
FOR THE FILLING, in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until well-combined and fluffy, 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the sugar, flour, lemon juice, cream, and vanilla and mix until well-combined, 1-2 minutes. Add the white chocolate and lemon zest and mix until combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Add the eggs and beat on low speed until just combined (over beating after adding the eggs can cause the cheesecake to crack while baking).
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading evenly. Bake the cheesecake (placing the pan on the rack above the pan of water) for 65-75 minutes until the filling is just set (it�s ok if the very center jiggles just slightly). Add more time if needed.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 8-12 hours (the flavor will get better as it chills as well). Serve the cheesecake slices with sweetened whipped cream and lemon slices, if desired
