Instructions
Creating Mango Cheesecake can be straightforward if you carefully follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are moistened. Press the mixture into the base of a springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will add fluffiness to your cheesecake.
4. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended. This will create a light and airy texture.
5. Add Mango Puree: Stir in the mango puree until fully combined, making sure to maintain the fluffiness of the mixture.
6. Add Gelatin (if desired): If using gelatin for a firmer cheesecake, dissolve it in warm water according to package instructions. Mix it into the mango filling until well incorporated.
7. Pour the Filling: Pour the mango filling onto the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Chill: Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.
9. Garnish: Before serving, decorate with fresh mango slices on top for an appealing presentation.
10. Release and Slice: Carefully release the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges.
