    List of Ingredients




    2 lg Packages (8 oz. each)-neufchatel or cream cheese at room Temperature.
    3/4 c Sugar
    4 lg Eggs
    1 c Light or regular sour cream
    2 tb Orange-flavored liqueur *
    1 ts Vanilla

    Crust (recipe follows)
    Orange Sauce (recipe-follows)
    1 lb (about 1 large) firm-ripe-mango
    Fresh mint (optional)

    * (or 1/2 teaspoon grated-orange peel)

    Recipe



    In a large mixing bowl, beat cheese and sugar until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at
    a time, beating well after each addition. Add sour cream, liqueur and
    vanilla; beat until blended. Pour over crust. Bake in a 325F oven until
    center of cake jiggles only slightly when gently shaken, 45 to 50 minutes.
    Cool completely on a rack. (If made ahead, cover and chill up until the
    next day.)

    Spoon about 1/3 of the lukewarm orange sauce over cheesecake, to within 1
    inch of sides. Peel mango. Cut fleshy cheeks off each side of pit, then
    cut off remaining fruit. Cut mango into thin slices 4 to 5 inches long.
    Arrange over cheesecake, overlapping slightly. Spoon remaining sauce over
    fruit and cake to within about 1/4 inch of side.

    Cover; chill until sauce is set, about 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Run a
    knife around inside edges of pan. Remove pan rim. Garnish with mint. With
    a sharp knife, cut cake into wedges.

    Makes about 12 servings.

    CRUST:
    Mix 1 1/2 cups finely crushed crisp coconut macaroon cookies with 1/4 cup
    (1/3 pound) melted butter or margarine. Press mixture over bottom and
    about 1 inch up sides of a 9-inch cheesecake pan with removable rim. Bake
    in a 325F oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

    ORANGE SAUCE: In a 2- to 3-quart pan, mix 3 tablespoons sugar and 4
    teaspoons corn starch. Stir in 2/3 cup orange juice and 3 tablespoons
    orange-flavored liqueur (or orange juice). Stir over high heat until
    boiling. Cool to lukewarm.
