Grand Marnier Cheesecake

Crust

  Amount  Measure   Ingredient
--------  -------   --------------------------------
    1/4     cup     graham cracker crumbs
                    Butter for pan

Butter bottom and sides of an 8-by-3-inch pan (if you use a
springform, it will have to be a very tight fitting one that won't
leak).  Sprinkle crumbs into pan and turn pan carefully to coat
bottom and sides.  Coating will be very thin and spotty.  Refrigerate.


Filling

  Amount  Measure   Ingredient
--------  -------   --------------------------------
      2     lbs     cream cheese, room temperature
    1/2     cup     whipping cream
      4     Tbl     Grand Marnier (liquor available at most liquor stores)
      1             Grated rind of 1 large orange (orange part only)
      4             eggs, large
  1 3/4     cup     sugar
      1     tsp     vanilla extract

Preheat over to 300 degrees.  Place cream cheese, cream, Grand Marnier,
orange rind, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in bowl.  Beat slowly on low setting
until ingredients bland, then increase speed to high.  Beat until
ingredients are smooth.  Pour into pan and tap pan gently to level batter.
Set cake pan into another pan which wider, higher and which, when filled with
hot water, will allow the water to come halfway up the side of the cake pan.
Cake pan must not float -- remove some water if necessary.

Bake 2 hours.  Turn oven off and leave cake in over 1 hour longer.  Remove pan
from water and place on a rack to cool for 2 hours, then unmold.  Chill and,
if desired, garnish top of cake with additional orange zest or sliced oranges.
