Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or gluten-free cookie crumbs/almond flour for gluten-free)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mango Puree Topping
- 2 to 3 fresh ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- Optional: 1 teaspoon gelatin or agar-agar dissolved (for firmer topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and combine it thoroughly with the crumbs until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a springform pan. Refrigerate to set while preparing the filling.
- Make the Mango Puree: Peel and dice the ripe mangoes, then blend them until smooth. If a firmer mango topping is desired, dissolve gelatin or agar-agar as per package instructions and stir into the puree. Set aside to slightly thicken.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until fully combined and lump-free, creating the luscious filling.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface. Gently spoon the mango puree on top of the filling. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Use a sharp, warm knife dipped in hot water and dried to slice clean pieces. Garnish as desired and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy mangoes for the best flavor and vibrant color.
- Bring cream cheese and sour cream to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Press the crust mixture firmly for a stable base.
- Chill the cheesecake overnight for best texture and flavor development.
- Dip your knife in hot water and dry it before slicing for clean edges.
