Mangoes are still in season and I’m having a great time converting them into delicious desserts! Mango is a great tropical fruit and works well to turn out exceptional desserts.
Today’s recipe is the most irresistible mango cheesecake. I used freshly cubed and pureed sweet, ripe Dasseri mangoes to make this light and refreshing cheesecake. I also used homemade cream cheese.
The cheesecake had the perfect texture and softness. When I opened the springform pan, the mango cheesecake looked ah-ma-zing!! The sliced wedges displayed the mango cubes embedded in the cheesecake. It looked so pretty and just melted in the mouth. I also assembled the cheesecake in a few glasses which looked so cute with mango hearts!
You should make this now, while mangoes are still in season. This cheesecake is so simple, easy, eggless, no need to bake and above all, contains ingredients which are so few and easily available. Try this elegant dessert to serve at any celebratory occasion and enjoy with your family and friends. J

Press firmly and evenly on the base of the tin & chill or freeze till the base is firm.
For the Filling :
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir to cool.
Blend gelatin in the mango puree.
Beat sugar and cream cheese until light, smooth and creamy.
Add the mango gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture and combine well.
Whip the cream until stiff, fold in the whipped cream and stir in the mango pieces/cubes.
Pour this mixture over the chilled crust and smoothen the top.
Chill for at least an hour or until set.
For the Mango Glaze :
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Cool slightly.
Combine mango puree, sugar (if using), lime juice.
Add the gelatin and mix thoroughly.
Pour half the mango glaze on the chilled cheesecake and smoothen evenly. Chill again until set.
Arrange mango slices and pour the remaining mango glaze.
Smoothen again. Chill to set.
Bring to room temperature for about 10-15 mins. Serve the mango cheesecake sliced into wedges.
