This is my first blog post ever. Today is 7/28/16. Won't say my age but it is up there. I am so happy with this recipe, this blog and the wonderful comments and directions. I originally had several questions after reading the NY Cheesecake recipe. On a whim, I clicked the blog link. All my questions were answered. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. My cheesecake loving relatives will be visiting tomorrow. They will have no complaints. Next time I plan to eliminate the zest, switch the sour cream to heavy cream, hope it works out well. Does anyone know if some of the cream cheese may be substituted for ricotta? All my old recipe books use ricotta. Thanks to everyone and the wonderful advice.
