To make crust: Cream
butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients
and form into a ball. Flatten ball and press dough onto the
bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
Bake in a 350-degree oven until crust is golden brown, approximately
15 to 20 minutes and set aside. Lower oven temperature to
250 degrees.
Make filling: with an electric mixer, or by hand, beat cream
cheese with sugar until there are no lumps. Add all the other
ingredients except for the egg and egg yolk, and mix well.
Add egg and egg yolk and continue mixing until they are just
incorporated. You do not want additional air whipped into
the cheesecake. Pour into the crust and make until the filling
is set, approximately 80 minutes. Cool to room temperature
in the pan and chill.
Remove the pan to serve. Makes about 8 servings
