Ingredients for Fresh No-Bake Mango Cheesecake
Biscuit Base
- Sweet plain biscuits or graham crackers
- Unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- Cream cheese, softened
- Heavy cream or whipping cream
- Sugar (granulated or powdered)
- Fresh mango puree
- Lemon or lime juice
Mango Topping
- Fresh mango puree
- Sugar (optional, depending on mango sweetness)
- Gelatin or agar-agar (for setting)
Ingredient Notes
- Mangoes: Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and color. If mangoes are fibrous, strain the puree for a smoother result.
- Cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese gives the creamiest texture and best structure.
- Gelatin substitute: Agar-agar works well for a vegetarian-friendly version.
- Dairy-free option: Coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese can be used with excellent results.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Biscuit Base
Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the base of a springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until set.
Step 2 – Make the Mango Puree
Peel and chop ripe mangoes. Blend until smooth. If needed, strain the puree to remove fibers. Measure and set aside the required amount for both the filling and topping.
Step 3 – Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add mango puree and citrus juice, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 4 – Whip and Fold
In a separate bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Gently fold it into the mango cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and airy.
Step 5 – Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit base. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 6 – Add the Mango Topping
Gently heat mango puree with sugar if needed. Dissolve gelatin or agar-agar according to package instructions and mix into the puree. Let cool slightly, then pour over the cheesecake. Chill again until the topping is firm.
Pro Tips for Success
- Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
- Chill each layer properly for clean slices and stable structure.
- Taste the mangoes before adding sugar; ripe mangoes may need very little.
- Strain mango puree for a professional, silky finish.
- For neat slices, wipe the knife clean between cuts.
Flavor Variations
- Coconut Mango Cheesecake: Add coconut cream or toasted coconut to the filling.
- Passion Fruit Mango: Swirl passion fruit pulp into the topping.
- Lime Mango Cheesecake: Increase lime juice for extra tang.
- Berry Mango Fusion: Add a thin berry compote layer under the mango topping.
- Mini Mango Cheesecakes: Assemble in jars or muffin liners for individual servings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this mango cheesecake chilled, straight from the fridge. It pairs beautifully with fresh berries, mint leaves, or a light fruit salad. For special occasions, garnish with mango slices or edible flowers for an elegant finish.
Storage and Freezing Instructions
Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended, as the creamy texture may change once thawed.
