Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Filling

  • 3 cups fresh ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 3–4 medium mangoes)
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder or agar-agar (optional, for firmer texture)
  • 1/4 cup warm water (for dissolving gelatin or agar-agar)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush the graham crackers or digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan or serving dish. Chill in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Blend the mango puree: Peel and dice fresh ripe mangoes. Blend until smooth using a blender or food processor. Set aside about two-thirds of the puree for the filling, reserving the remaining puree for topping or layering later.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, heavy cream or sour cream, fresh lemon juice, and the reserved mango puree. Mix thoroughly to achieve a creamy and luscious texture.
  4. Add gelatin or agar-agar (optional): If you prefer a firmer cheesecake, dissolve gelatin or agar-agar powder in warm water according to package instructions. Gently fold the dissolved gelatin mixture into the cream cheese filling until fully combined.
  5. Assemble and chill: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 to 6 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set and firm.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, top with the reserved mango puree, fresh mango slices, or any additional toppings such as toasted coconut flakes, mint leaves, or whipped cream for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Choose ripe mangoes that yield slightly to pressure for the sweetest puree.
  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature and beat until smooth to avoid lumps.
  • Chill the cheesecake overnight for optimal texture and flavor melding.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best balance of sweetness and brightness.
  • For a no-bake version, omit baking and use gelatin or agar-agar to set.
  • Adapt the recipe for vegan or gluten-free diets by substituting ingredients accordingly.
