My birthday is in May and because I love cheesecake myself, I thought I would post this wonderful recipe that I was given by Stonyfield Farm.

This delicious cheesecake is very simple to make and has a delicious tropical fruit taste. Try it with fresh sliced mangoes and strawberries on top. I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients

Crust:

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup of butter, melted

Filling:

2 - 8oz. packages cream cheese (room temperature)

1 cup apricot mango flavored yogurt

1/2 cup sugar

3 eggs (room temperature)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the crust, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together. Press the mixture onto the bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9-inch spring form pan and chill.

While the crust is chilling, preheat the oven to 300°F. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, cream together the cream cheese and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, yogurt and mixed until all ingredients are combined. Spoon the mixture into the crust. Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of your oven. Be sure to include a pan of water on the lower rack. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes being careful not to open the oven while the cheesecake is baking. Turn off the oven; and allow the cheesecake to cool for 30 minutes in the oven with the door ajar. Remove the cheesecake and continue to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, garnish with fresh slices of mango or your favorite fruit.

Be sure to allow cheesecake to cool thoroughly before removing from the spring form pan. If the cheesecake is still warm, it may break apart.
