Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin (or agar-agar for a vegetarian option)
  • 1/4 cup water (to dissolve the gelatin)
  • 1 1/2 cups mango puree (from fresh mangoes or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it’s packed evenly.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
  5. In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 1/4 cup of water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add the heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, and beat until fully combined and fluffy.
  8. Gently heat the gelatin mixture in a microwave or on the stove until it’s completely dissolved. Add the dissolved gelatin to the cheesecake filling and mix well.
  9. Pour the cheesecake filling onto the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the cheesecake to set properly.
  11. In a small saucepan, combine the mango puree, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and heated through (about 5-7 minutes).
  12. Let the mango mixture cool to room temperature before pouring it over the chilled cheesecake.
  13. Once the cheesecake has set, pour the cooled mango topping evenly over the cheesecake.
  14. Refrigerate for another hour to allow the topping to set.
  15. Slice and serve the creamy, refreshing mango cheesecake with a sprig of mint for garnish, if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor if using fresh mangoes.
  • Agar-agar is a great vegetarian substitute for gelatin and works well in this recipe.
  • You can make this cheesecake in individual cups for a fun party presentation.
  • Chilling overnight improves flavor and texture.
