I have served this to multiple groups at parties, holiday time and always get asked for the recipe! Festive appetizer to serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or to eat with a fork. Add a side of medium or hot salsa to spice it up for those who like spicy. This is mild if you use mild salsa.

Tips:

- Be sure to drain the tomatoes well before using them, to prevent the cheesecake from being too watery.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the crust so that it fits snugly in the pan.
- To make sure the cheesecake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cheesecake is done.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
- If you're looking for a fun and festive way to serve the cheesecake, you can top it with fresh salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
