- 2 tbsp white sugar
- Mango:
- 700g (1.4 lb) mango flesh (from about 2 large mangoes)
- Filling:
- 4 1/2 tsp gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) cold tap water
- 500g (1 lb) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup (150g) caster sugar

- 1/4 cup (65 ml) cold tap water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Toppings (optional):

Instructions
- Prepare Cake Pan: Use a 22 cm (9″) springform pan. Turn base upside down, line with baking paper, and secure in pan. Grease sides and line with baking paper.
- Make Base: Blitz biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor. Add melted butter and sugar, blitz again to combine. Press into base of the pan (not up the sides). Chill while preparing filling.
- Prepare Gelatin: In a heatproof bowl, sprinkle 4 1/2 tsp gelatin over 1/2 cup water. Let sit 5 minutes to bloom. Microwave 15 seconds x 2, stirring between, until dissolved. Cool for 5 minutes.
- Mango Filling: Blend mango until smooth in a food processor. Reserve 3/4 cup for jelly and set aside. Add cream cheese, cream, sugar, and cooled gelatin mixture to the remaining mango puree in the processor. Blitz until smooth (30 seconds or so).
- Pour filling over biscuit base. Smooth top and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.
- Mango Jelly: Bloom 3/4 tsp gelatin in 1/4 cup water for 5 minutes. Microwave 10 seconds x 2, stirring between, until dissolved. Cool slightly. In a bowl, mix reserved mango puree and lemon juice. Stir in gelatin. Pour gently over set cheesecake. Tilt to spread evenly. Chill for 12+ hours until jelly is set.
- Remove from Pan: Release springform sides and use paper overhang to transfer cheesecake to a serving plate. Gently slide out the paper.
- Optional Toppings: Whip cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Pile whipped cream on top of cheesecake and garnish with diced mango and passionfruit pulp. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Kensington Pride or Ataulfo for best flavor.
- For best texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before blending.
- The gelatin must be fully dissolved for proper setting—avoid grainy texture.
- Refrigerate overnight for best results.
