FRUITY YOGURT CHEESECAKE 
2 containers (32 oz. each) low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 c. confectioners' sugar

CRUST:

3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1 tbsp. granulated sugar

TOPPING:

2 ripe peaches, sliced thin
3 tbsp. apricot preserves
1/2 pt. fresh raspberries

1. Line a large strainer with 3 layers of white paper towels. Place strainer over a large bowl. Scrape yogurt into strainer. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours. Yogurt will become very thick.

2. Mix crust ingredients in a bowl. Press evenly over bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9 inch springform pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.

3. Mix drained yogurt and confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Spoon into chilled crust. Smooth surface with a rubber spatula. Cover and chill at least 2 hours, overnight if possible.

4. Run a knife between cheesecake and pan sides to loosen. Remove pan sides. Leave cheesecake on base.

5. Arrange peach slices on top in a circle around the edge. Melt preserves and brush over peaches. Mound raspberries in the center. Serve soon, or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. Makes 8 servings.
