 Blood Orange Cheesecake (Cheesecake Bible, George Geary)

3T butter, melted

Bake 10 minutes at 350°F.


Filling:

1 1/2# cream cheese

1 1/2c small-curd cottage cheese, drained [340g]

1/2c sour cream [120g]

1 1/2c sugar [300g]

4 eggs

1/4c flour

1T blood orange zest [cara cara]

1/3c blood orange juice [cara cara]

1tsp fresh nutmeg

1tsp vanilla

Topping:

1/2c sour cream

1/4c sugar

Gingerbread cookie crust didn't really work for me, but my parents loved it. Topping was too liquid--skip the juice next time.
