Ingredients

1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/3 cup sugar
eggs, divided
1-1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest, divided
tsp. lemon juice, divided
cup flour
3/4 cup chopped mango
2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 325°F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Beat butter and 1/3 cup sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Blend in 1 of the eggs, 1/2 tsp. of the lemon peel and 1 tsp. of the lemon juice. Add 1 cup flour; mix well. Reserve 3/4 cup of the dough; cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Press remaining dough firmly onto bottom of springform pan. Bake 10 minutes; cool. Press reserved dough 2 inches up side of pan. Increase oven temperature to 450°F (or to 425°F if using a dark nonstick pan).
2. Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp. flour, remaining 1 tsp. lemon peel and remaining 1 tsp. lemon juice in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add remaining 3 eggs, 1 at a time, mixing just until blended after each addition. Blend in milk; pour into crust.
3. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250°F (or to 225°F for a dark nonstick pan); continue baking 40 minutes. Run small knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving
4. Put whipping cream in mixer and mix until soft peaks.
5. Chop mango into pieces and heat in a pot or pan for about 5mins until the juice comes out and let cool
6. Use piping bag to pipe the whipped cream around the edge of the cake
7. place mango on this inside and sprinkle with pecans

Notes

It is best to bake cheesecake in a pan of water. Water should come up about 1/2 way on the cake pan. This prevents the cake from cracking.
