Tropical Mango Cheesecake Bliss Pure Indulgence Treat

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh mango puree
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 0 fresh mango slices and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until well combined.
3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
5. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.
6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Make sure not to overmix.
7. Stir in the vanilla extract, fresh mango puree, and lime juice until just combined.
8. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
9. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about an hour.
10. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
11. Before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly on top of the chilled cheesecake.
12. Garnish with fresh mango slices and mint leaves for a vibrant presentation.
