2 Tbsp. confectioners’ sugar
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
½ cup cold butter, cubed
Filling: 4 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1 ¼ cups sugar
10 oz. white baking chocolate, melted and cooled
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
2 tsp. vanilla extract

In a small bowl, combine the flour, confectioners’ sugar and peel; cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of prepared pan. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in white chocolate, flour, cream, lemon juice, lemon peel and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into crust.
Place pan in a large baking pan; add 1 inch of hot water to large pan. Bake 65-85 minutes or until center is just set and top appears dull.
Remove pan from water bath. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan. Garnish with white chocolate and lemon peel if desired. 12 servings
