Ingredients

For base

1 cup graham crackers or digestive biscuits

1/3 cup butter at room temperature

For filling

1 tbsp gelatin powder/agar-agar

1/8 cup water

1 block (250gms)cream cheese, softened

100gms whipping cream

1/2 cup fine sugar

1 cup mango puree

1/2 cup chopped mangoes

For mango jelly

1/2 cup mango puree

1/2 tsp gelatin powder/agar-agar

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing a 6” springform pan and lightly greasing it with butter.

2. In a food processor, blitz the cookies until they form crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse until well combined.

3. Press the cookie mixture evenly onto the base of the springform pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining gelatin with water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 10 seconds on high, stir, and repeat once more until fully dissolved.

5. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, whipping cream, sugar, mango puree, and the dissolved gelatin. Blend in a food processor or whisk until smooth. Fold in chopped mangoes.

6. Pour the mango cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours until the filling is set.

7. Once the filling is set, prepare the mango jelly by mixing gelatin with water and microwaving for 10 seconds on high. Stir until fully dissolved and let it cool to room temperature.

8. Combine the cooled gelatin mixture with mango puree and lemon juice. Mix well.

9. Pour the mango jelly over the set cheesecake filling, spreading it evenly.

10. Refrigerate for an additional 5-6 hours until the jelly is completely set.

11. Garnish with whipped cream and serve.

Recipe Notes

For a simpler variation, you can omit the jelly part and instead top the cheesecake with fresh-cut mangoes, tastes equally tasty and refreshing.
