Sorry everyone...a WAY late post for last week's Tuesday With Dorie selection, Tall and Creamy Cheesecake. This is a FABULOUS recipe, and it's helped me overcome my fear of baking cheesecakes. Okay, confession--- I've never successfully baked a respectable cheesecake until I tried Dorie's recipe here. Not only does the cheesecake taste delicious, the recipe is foolproof as I get great results every time I make it.
I opted for a meyer lemon version, taking advantage of the great looking meyer lemons at the farmers market. I used a 7" springform pan and made half of the filling recipe. I still made a full recipe for the graham crust, as I love a thicker crust.
Unlike your typical heavy and dense cheesecake, this cheesecake is light and fluffy. I loved the subtle citrus flavor of the meyer lemon, and raspberries were a perfect accompaniament.
Thank you Anne Strawberry for this delicious selection! If you'd like to try your hand at this cheesecake (which I highly recommend), you can find the recipe at Anne's blog or at Serious Eats.

Looks fabulous.
I love double the crust too. It is my favorite part.
I used orange in mine, it was so good.

Looks WONDERFUL!!! For the first time I recently purchased meyer lemons. Can't wait to try 'em to see what all the hype is about.

Looks gorgeous, and so light. I can't wait to start experimenting with all of the beautiful meyer lemons now available.
I'm so happy it's meyer lemon season! What a terrific looking cheesecake - maybe I'll use my first meyer lemons for this recipe! :)
Great looking cheesecake!
Your cheesecake looks great!!
Deliciously tender...
How much lemon juice did you use?

Joanne - I used the juice and zest of 2 meyer lemons.
Cheesecake is my favorite dessert in the entire world-yours turned out so luscious. My mouth is watering! Well done!
What a perfect dessert! It looks delicious
I love your photos!! They are beautiful. You must live on the west coast. I'm in the MW and we do not get Meyer Lemons. Boo Hoo. How do they differ?
Anyway a lovely post and so glad you had success.

My husband has been very ill (mental) for the past year. During this period he has lost interest in so many things ... recreation, grooming, interaction with others.
He does respond well to dessert though and cheesecake is one of his favorites.
He loved this. Ate the whole thing himself.
Thank you for a ray of brightness in a world grown so dim.
I've looked and looked and looked and can NOT find the recipe for this cheesecake on any website! Does anyone have this recipe on file?
Alec-

To make the meyer lemon variation, I added the zest and juice of 2 meyer lemons.
I hope this helps!
