Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Amongst Slow Fresh Raspberry Sauce

When I was little, perchance around 2d grade-ish, I think my Mom making a cheesecake for her couplet club.  This was years earlier the Cheesecake Factory in addition to years earlier many notable dining out experiences.  I think thinking it was a real unusual, but from what my Mom said, a real particular dessert.  The recipe was called "Cheesecake Supreme" from her Better Homes in addition to Gardens (1979-ish) recipe book... every bit it was pretty much the ultimate resources inwards our house.  Either that or the Betty Crocker.  It is the same cookbook from which the Deluxe Sugar Cookie recipe came - definitely an oldie but a goodie.  

Even today, alongside all of the cyberspace search options available for cheesecake recipes, I even thence telephone squall upwards my Mom to teach this item Cheesecake Supreme recipe for particular occasions.  The most notable departure is the crust.  It is almost similar a shortbread dough crust - no crumbled graham crackers here.  I intend it makes such a overnice compliment to the creamy filling without overpowering it every bit the grahams tin laissez passer on the axe appear to do.

I've updated the recipe (of course... I can't assist myself) to include fresh Meyer Lemon zest in addition to juice.  Actually, the master copy recipe calls for a flake of lemon zest anyway, I merely kicked it upwards to officially teach inwards a "Lemon Cheesecake."  You tin laissez passer on the axe honour Meyer Lemons correct at 1 time inwards gourmet markets - they are definitely worth the hunt.  The taste, piece even thence lemony, is smoother, almost sweeter than a normal lemon.  However, you lot don't postulate Meyer Lemons - regular volition operate merely fine.

The raspberry "sauce" is real elementary in addition to volition accept entirely 1 infinitesimal to make.  Literally.  By using store-bought raspberry jam heated inwards the microwave thence tossed alongside fresh raspberries, you lot get got a sauce that is beautiful in addition to shiny in addition to volition ready nicely on the cake.  Even when you lot cutting it it won't run all over the place.
