- 1-1/2 cups sugar

- In large bowl of mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until soft and smooth. Add vanilla, sugar and cornstarch. Beat, scraping bowl, until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and add cream gradually with mixer on low speed. The mixture should be thin and smooth. Add the lemon juice last and beat only to mix.

Carefully turn both pans together front to back, then raise oven temperature to 375. Bake 30 to 45 minutes more or until the top is a pale golden brown.
- Carefully remove from oven and remove cheesecake pan from the hot water. Let stand until bottom of pan is completely cool. Do not refrigerate until cake has been removed from pan.
