Making Mango Cheesecake is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the tropical sweetness of mango. It is easy to make and is perfect for any occasion. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make mango cheesecake:
- Begin by making the crust. Crush 200 grams of digestive biscuits in a food processor until they become fine crumbs. Add 100 grams of melted butter to the crumbs and mix well until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- Next, prepare the mango puree. Peel and chop three ripe mangoes, removing the pit. Place the mango pieces in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 500 grams of cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. You can use an electric mixer or whisk by hand.
- Add 4 eggs, one at a time, to the cream cheese mixture, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one. This will help create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Pour 1 cup of mango puree into the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until everything is fully combined and the batter is smooth.
- Take out the crust from the refrigerator and pour the mango cream cheese mixture on top of the crust. Smooth the top using a spatula.
- Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. The cheesecake will firm up as it cools.
- Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, remove the sides of the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. Drizzle some additional mango puree on top for added flavor.
- Slice the mango cheesecake into pieces and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, tropical goodness of this delicious dessert!
Remember to refrigerate any leftovers to keep the cheesecake fresh. With its creamy texture and vibrant mango flavor, this homemade mango cheesecake is sure to impress your family and friends!
