Mango cheesecake is a delightful dessert that combines the creamy texture of cheesecake with the tropical sweetness of mango. Here’s a recipe for a creamy mango cheesecake:
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
3 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups mango puree (from fresh or canned mango)
For the mango glaze (optional):
1/2 cup mango puree
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon gelatin powder
3 tablespoons water
Instructions:
Crust:
1.Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2.In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
3.Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place it in the refrigerator as you prepare the filling.
Filling:
1.In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.
2.Gradually add the sugar and continue beating.
3.Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4.Stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and mango puree until just combined.
5.Pour this mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
6.Bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
7.Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Mango glaze (if using):
1.In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
2.In a saucepan, combine the mango puree and sugar. Heat until the sugar has dissolved.
3.Add the gelatin mixture to the mango mixture and heat until the gelatin has fully dissolved.
4.Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5.Pour the glaze over the chilled cheesecake and spread evenly.
6.Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and allow the glaze to set for at least 2 hours.
Serve your mango cheesecake chilled, with fresh mango slices on top if desired. Enjoy your tropical treat!
