Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup ripe mango puree (about 2 ripe mangoes)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the mango topping:

  • 1 cup mango puree (about 1-2 ripe mangoes)
  • Fresh mango slices (for garnish, optional)
  • Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
    • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
    • Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until fully combined.
    • Add the vanilla extract, eggs (one at a time), mango puree, and lemon juice. Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overbeat.
  3. Assemble and bake:
    • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly wobbly.
    • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually, which helps prevent cracking.
  4. Chill:
    • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
  5. Prepare the mango topping:
    • Once chilled, spread the mango puree over the top of the cheesecake. Decorate with fresh mango slices and mint leaves if desired.
  6. Serve:
    • Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy the tropical flavors!

This Mango Cheesecake is not only visually stunning but also a delicious way to enjoy the sweetness of mangoes in a creamy dessert. Perfect for summer parties, birthdays, or any occasion where you want to impress!
