Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Mango Topping:
- 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon water
For Garnish (optional):
- Fresh mango slices
- Mint leaves
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to compact it tightly.
- Refrigerate the crust for at least 10 minutes to set.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add mango puree and lemon juice, then mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the cheesecake set.
Step 4: Make the Mango Topping
- In a small saucepan, combine mango puree, sugar, and cornstarch (if using).
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Once the cheesecake is set, pour the cooled mango topping over the cheesecake and spread it evenly.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Optionally, garnish with fresh mango slices and mint leaves.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the best flavor in the topping and puree.
- Let the cheesecake set for several hours (or overnight) to ensure it’s firm and sliceable.
- You can substitute the graham crackers with any other cookie crumbs you prefer, such as Biscoff or shortbread.
