Make the crust first: Combine the flour, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla in a
medium bowl. Make a well in the center. Add the egg yolk and butter. Use
your finger tips to mix until a dough forms and cleans the sides of the
bowl. Form the dough into a ball. Wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate for 1
hour or more. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease the sides and bottom
of a 9" springform pan. Remove the side from the pan. Roll 1/3 of the dough
on the bottom of the springform pan. Trim the edge of the dough to fit the
pan. Bake until golden (8-10 minutes). Divide the rest of the dough into 3
parts. Roll each part into a strip 2 1/2" wide and about 10" long. Put the
springform pan together with the baked crust on the bottom. Fit the 3 dough
strips to the side of the pan, joining the ends inside to completely line
the inside of the pan. Trim the dough so that it only comes 3/4 of the way
up the side of the pan. Refrigerate the dough lined pan until you are ready
to fill it. Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees. Prepare the
filling: Use the large bowl of an electric mixer to combine the cheese,
sugar, flour, lemon and orange peels and vanilla extract. Beat at high
speed just until blended. Beat the eggs and egg yolks in one at a time. Add
the cream. Beat until just well combined. Pour the mixture into the
springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250
degrees. Bake 1 hour longer. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate at
least 3 hours. Loosen the pastry from the side of the pan with a spatula.
Remove the side of the springform pan. Cut into wedges. Serve.
