Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 200 g digestive biscuits or plain tea biscuits, finely crushed
- 100 g unsalted butter, melted
- For the cheesecake filling:
- 450 g cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp powdered gelatin
- 3 tbsp warm water
- For the mango layer:
- 1 1/2 cups mango purée (about 2 ripe mangoes)
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp powdered gelatin
- 3 tbsp warm water
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix crushed biscuits and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Bloom the gelatin (filling): Sprinkle 2 tsp gelatin over 3 tbsp warm water. Let sit 5 minutes until spongy, then gently heat until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until fully combined.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add gelatin: Slowly add dissolved gelatin to the filling while mixing gently. Combine until smooth.
- Assemble: Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top. Chill for at least 2 hours until set.
- Make mango layer: Bloom 2 tsp gelatin in 3 tbsp warm water and dissolve. In a bowl, mix mango purée, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir in the gelatin until well combined.
- Top the cheesecake: Pour mango mixture over the set cheesecake layer. Chill at least 4 more hours or overnight.
- Serve: Remove from springform pan, slice with a warm knife, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture.
- Canned mango purée is fine—adjust sugar if sweetened.
- Chill overnight for the cleanest layers and best flavor.
- For clean slices, wipe knife between cuts and dip in warm water.
- Fold in small mango chunks for added texture, if desired.
