Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Digestive biscuits
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 400 grams Cream cheese
- 250 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 300 ml Fresh mango puree
- 2 tablespoons Gelatin powder
- 4 tablespoons Water (for gelatin)
- 150 grams Fresh mango slices (optional, for topping)
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then mix it thoroughly with the biscuit crumbs until they form a sandy, slightly sticky consistency.
Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan (about 8 inches in diameter). Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to compact the crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with 4 tablespoons of water. Let it bloom for about 5 minutes, then heat gently in the microwave or a double boiler until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, using a hand or stand mixer.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms medium peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three increments, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Take half of the mango puree and mix it with the dissolved gelatin. Gradually fold this mango-gelatin mixture into the cheesecake batter until well combined and smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled biscuit crust, smoothing out the surface with a spatula.
Pour the remaining mango puree over the top of the cheesecake filling. Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly, creating a glossy mango layer.
Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap or foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
Once set, gently run a knife along the edge of the springform pan to release the cheesecake. Remove the outer ring and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate.
Optionally, top the cheesecake with fresh mango slices and garnish with mint leaves before serving. Slice and enjoy!
