  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 7 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Mango Cheesecake Filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh mango puree (from about 2 large mangoes)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

For the Mango Glaze:

  • 1 cup mango puree
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp water

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh mango slices
  • Whipped cream
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix the Crust Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  3. Press into the Pan: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it down.
  4. Bake the Crust: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Make the Mango Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in Mango Puree: Blend in the mango puree and cornstarch, mixing until the filling is smooth and well combined.

Assemble and Bake:

  1. Pour the Filling: Pour the mango cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Prepare a Water Bath: Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in aluminum foil to prevent leaks. Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  3. Bake: Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  4. Cool Gradually: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.

Prepare the Mango Glaze:

  1. Heat the Mango Puree: In a small saucepan, combine the mango puree, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Thicken the Glaze: Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

  1. Spread the Glaze: Once the cheesecake is fully cooled, pour the mango glaze over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  2. Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set completely.

Serve:

  1. Decorate: Before serving, garnish with fresh mango slices, whipped cream, or mint leaves as desired.
  2. Slice and Enjoy: Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the springform ring. Slice and serve chilled.
