Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press into Pan: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Use the back of a spoon to compact it.
- Chill the Crust: Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling to let the crust set.
Make the Filling:
- Whip the Cream Cheese: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until fully combined.
- Add Sour Cream and Heavy Cream: Add the sour cream and heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in Mango Puree and Lemon Juice: Add the fresh mango puree and lemon juice, mixing well until smooth. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
- Optional: Add Gelatin: If you want a firmer texture, dissolve gelatin in a bit of warm water according to package instructions and add it to the filling mixture.
- Pour into Crust: Pour the mango cheesecake filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill the Cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until set.
Prepare the Topping:
- Make the Mango Topping: In a small bowl, combine the fresh mango puree with honey or sugar (if desired). Stir until the topping is smooth and sweetened to your liking.
- Spread Over Cheesecake: Once the cheesecake has set, spread the mango topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice and Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice it into wedges, and serve chilled.
