Ingredients
For the crust
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
- 2 packets cream cheese, softened (8-ounce each)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups mango puree fresh or canned
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For garnish
- fresh mango slices for garnish
- mint leaves optional for garnish
Instructions
Prep the Crust
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Add the Mango Puree
- Blend the mango puree and lemon juice into the cream cheese mixture until silky smooth.
Whip the Cream
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango-cream cheese mixture, being careful to keep it fluffy.
Combine and Chill
- Pour the creamy mango filling over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Serve Your Delight
- Once set, gently remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and garnish with fresh mango slices and mint leaves.
Notes
Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the best flavor. If using canned, ensure it's packed in juice, not syrup. A regular pie dish can be used if a springform pan isn’t available, but presentation may vary.
