This is a favorite of the family. I found it in Kraft Foods magazine.
Also, probably more popular is the pumpkin layer cheesecake. Although it isn't a "true" cheesecake... I can get you the recipe for that if you like.

Citrus Cheesecake
1. 1 cup HONEY MAID Graham Cracker Crumbs
2. 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3. 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
4. 4 (8 ounce) packages PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
5. 1 cup granulated sugar
6. 2 tablespoons flour
7. 1 teaspoon vanilla
8. 4 eggs
9. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
10. 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
11. 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
12. 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
13. 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
14. 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  (I always put in a little more juice then it calls for)
2. Cooking Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300 degrees F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Mix crumbs, brown sugar and butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake 10 minutes.
2. Beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, flour and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients; pour over crust.
3. Bake 1 hour and 5 minutes or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

If I'm making the basic cake (white, yellow, chocolate, etc.) I always sift the powder mix first. I use applesauce instead of oil and I always add vanilla no matter what flavor cake I'm making. If I use the whole egg (I usually use the whites only), I beat the whites separately from the yolk before adding anything else. I've been told that my cakes have the texture of wedding cakes. Now as for variations I have added peanut butter and chocolate (a personal favorite) to a white cake, sour cream to a chocolate cake, strawberries to a white cake (omit water) and I am currently making pumpkin bars from a spice cake mix (which led me to your site because I was looking for a way to turn a white cake into a spice cake so I can double it). Use four eggs instead of three, add a can of pumpkin and a quarter of a cup of applesauce (or oil if you prefer), omit water. Bake as directed on the box.

Hi pattico, How great that you enjoyed the Lemon Cheesecake that was developed from the Kraft recipe book. I checked "my" Kraft recipe book, spring edition, to see whether it had lemon cheesecake (which wouldn't be a big deal to me, as I'm not a devotee of lemon). Not there - this is a Canadian edition. They sure do own a lot of our regular grocery items, though, don't they? This comes in step-aunt's name, who died over 5 years ago and I've never bothered notifying them to stop it, though I hardly ever make use of the recipes. It comes to the formerly correct address at a rural route, but now they've put a number on every house, for "911" reasons ... but the postmistress has a long memory. She's good at telling the mail "where to go". ole joyful

Eggbeaters (or similar products) is a pasteurized egg product, so it is safe to use in uncooked dishes. I've been using it lately to make homemade, salt-free mayonnaise. You could try it and see if it works.

Carol, I'm a little late to the dance on this one, but in case you ever need a really good, pure cheesecake recipe, I offer one I've been using for years. I got it from a friend at a long-ago job and my entire family loves it. I'm able to make it for my celiac husband by substituting rice flour or gluten free baking mix for the little flour it calls for, and low-fat or fat-free products can be used instead of full-fat ones. I have also tried using Splenda instead of sugar, but it doesn't come out quite sweet enough for me. Here's the recipe:

Grease and flour a spring-form pan and set aside. Pre-heat oven to 350 deg.

16 oz. ricotta cheese
3 ea. 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 c. sugar
6 eggs
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
16 oz. sour cream

Mix sugar and flour and set aside.

Cream the ricotta and cream cheeses, add flour/sugar mixture. Add vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add sour cream, mixing well.

Bake 1 hour, then turn oven off and let sit in cooling oven for 1 hour. Refrigerate before releasing pan.

Rats, now I'm hungry. Guess I'll go make a cheesecake....

I'm also a little late for this cheescake party but I LOVE cheesecake and wanted to offer one of my favorites which is a light and fluffy recipe. I also have one that it the more traidtional one but this one disappears when I take it anywhere and can be make easily with Splenda for my hubbie and no one has ever guessed it's sugar free and I've also made the crust with finely chopped pecans and a small amount of sugar and butter pressed into a spring form pan for my dad who has Celiac Disease. Can be made with light cream cheese and sour cream if desired.

It's sort of a made up recipe:
4 8 oz packages of cream cheese - softened
1/2 c sour cream
1 Tbsp vanilla
1-2 Tbsp lime juice (optional)
1 cup sugar or 1 cup Splenda with 1/4 cup sugar
About 1/3 carton of Cool Whip
Graham Cracker crust pressed into a spring form pan and baked lightly

Beat cream chesse until soft and light. Add all other ingredients except Cool Whip. Beat well until smooth. Add Cool Whip and mis just until blended and pour into crust. Chill several hours.

This is DELICIOUS either with sugar or with Splenda! And as I said I've made it so many times I can't count and no one knows it's sugar free!
ENJOY!
Sunny
