What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 200 g digestive biscuits crushed
- 80 g unsalted butter melted
- 500 g cream cheese softened
- 400 g mango puree fresh or canned
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Press the Biscuit Base
Combine crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter and mix well. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up while you prepare the mango filling.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
Whip heavy cream with half the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Keep refrigerated until ready to fold in. Well whipped cream is the secret to a light and airy no-bake cheesecake texture.
Step 3: Make the Mango Filling
Beat cream cheese with remaining powdered sugar until smooth. Add mango puree and mix until the filling is uniformly golden yellow and fragrant. Gently fold in the whipped cream in two batches keeping as much air in the mixture as possible.
Step 4: Set and Serve
Pour the mango filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least six hours or overnight until firmly set. Before serving decorate with fresh mango slices and a drizzle of extra mango puree for a vibrant kid friendly look.
