Description
A delightful dessert that combines creamy cheesecake with tropical mango sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mango puree
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups mango puree (for topping)
- 2 tbsp sugar (for topping)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (for topping)
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for topping)
- Fresh mango cubes (for garnish)
- Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the texture feels like wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
- Beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and mix again until fluffy.
- Blend in the sour cream, vanilla, mango puree, and cornstarch. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Don’t overmix.
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
- Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Heat the topping ingredients: mango puree, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until glossy. Let the topping cool, then spread it over the chilled cheesecake.
- Garnish with fresh mango cubes and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor. You can freeze the cheesecake for up to three months.
