Ingredients
Crust:
150g vanilla wafers (about 40 wafers), finely crushed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Mango Cheesecake Filling:
2 tablespoons cold water
2 teaspoons gelatin powder
450g (16 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2–4 tablespoons granulated sugar (to taste)
3/4 cup mango pulp (strained)
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Toppings:
3/4 cup mango pulp
1/2 cup whipped cream
1–2 ripe mangoes, diced
Instructions
Make the Crust
- Place vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
- Mix in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Spoon the crust mixture into dessert cups, pressing gently to create an even layer. Avoid packing too tightly.
- Chill the cups in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a small bowl, bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the strained mango pulp and mix just until combined.
- Microwave the gelatin mixture for 10-15 seconds until dissolved, then stir it into the cheesecake batter.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold it gently into the mango cheesecake mixture.
- Divide the filling evenly over the crust in the dessert cups and smooth the tops.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
Decorate Before Serving
- Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of mango pulp over each chilled cheesecake cup.
- Use your preferred piping tip to add swirls of whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with fresh mango cubes.
Notes
Use fresh or canned mango pulp (Kesar is ideal).
Skip gelatin for a softer texture.
Substitute wafers with graham crackers or digestive biscuits.
Not freezer-friendly—store in the fridge up to 4 days.
For a parfait twist, double crumbs and skip butter.
