3. Bake 50 minutes or until edge is set. Turn off oven; open oven door slightly. Leave cheesecake in oven 1 hour. Remove from oven. With knife, loosen cheesecake from side of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cover; refrigerate until chilled. Just before serving, remove side of pan. Garnish with fruit, if desired. Cover; refrigerate leftover cheesecake. 16 servings.
YOGURT CHEESE: Use two containers (8 oz. each) vanilla lowfat yogurt, no gelatin added. Line non-rusting colander or sieve with large piece of double thickness cheesecloth or large coffee filter; place colander over deep bowl. Spoon yogurt into prepared colander; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until liquid no longer drains from yogurt, about 24 hours. Remove yogurt from cheesecloth and place in separate bowl; discard liquid.
