No Bake Mango Cheesecake
Monday, January 02, 2023
I understand winter is the wrong season for mangoes, but who cares. When you crave for it, go for it. Thanks to canned food. Well it is summer in land-down-under:P I had craving for Mango Cheese cake. This is second year I am making this during winter break.
Usually these cakes are made in pie-dish or springform baking pan. But I use these glass cups. Costco sells Tiramisu in these glass cups. I save them after enjoying the Tiramisu. Now I repurpose the cups for individual portion of Cheesecakes.
If you plan to serve Mango cheesecakes to your guest, you need to plan ahead and prepare them a day ahead as each layer needs to set before adding another.
INGREDIENTS:
Bottom Base layer - Crust:
- 5 oz - Marie Biscuits (about 20), or digestives biscuits, or Graham Crackers
- ½ cup - melted unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp. – brown or white sugar
- ¼ tsp of each – cinnamon powder, Nutmeg powder (I even add cloves and cardamom powder)
- 2½ cup - mango pulp (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp. - gelatin powder [1 Knox packet] - unflavored
- ½ cup - water
- 8 oz - Cream cheese, softened (1 block)
- ¼ cup - caster sugar (superfine white sugar) – or regular sugar may be used
- 5 oz - whipping cream
- 1 tbsp. - gelatin powder [½ Knox packet] - unflavored
- ¼ cup - water
- 1 cup - mango pulp (unsweetened)
- 1 tbsp - orange or lemon juice.
METHOD:
(1) Bottom layer -crust
- Using a blender/food-processor crush biscuits/crackers into fine crumbs. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
- Add spices (cinnamon, Nutmeg, cloves and cardamom – powder) and sugar to the biscuit crumbs and mix
- Now add the melted butter and mix it thoroughly.
- Pour a tablespoon of the mix to each cup and press it down with the back of the spoon.
- Refrigerate the cups until the cheesecake filling is ready [about 30 minutes to an hour].
- Prepare Gelatin as mentioned on the box [ or - Heat the water and stir in the gelatin powder. If it does not dissolve properly, put the mixture in the microwave, heat it up, and mix again.] Keep aside.
- Whisk whipping cream until fluffy, keep aside.
- Whisk the soft cream cheese (use food processor or handheld blender or egg whisker) until smooth consistency.
- Add the sugar and Mango Puree, blend it all together.
- Finally add Prepared Gelatin & whisked whipping cream to the creamcheese-mango mix and beat few times to mix it all together.
- Pour the mixture to the chilled cups (about half cup). Tap the cups couple of on folded kitchen towel to let the mixture settle.
- Put the cups back into the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
- Warm up ¼ cup water. Stir-in the Gelatin powder until there are no lumps. Heat the mixture for a minute or so in microwave oven and stir the mixture again to dissolve all the gelatin.
- Now, add 2 tablespoons of pureed mango pulp to the gelatin mixture and mix. (this helps in blending the gelatin with the mango puree )
- Add rest of the mango puree & orange juice, whisk it to make the Jelly mix.
- Pour 2 tablespoon of Jelly mix over the chilled cheesecake cups.
- Chill the cheesecake cup overnight in the refrigerator (or at least for 8 hours) until Jelly is set.
- Serve chilled Mango Cheesecake. You may garnish it with whipped cream, or mango slices - let your imagination go. Share and Enjoy!
- I used canned Kesar mango puree (unsweetened) this time. During mango season (summer). I prepare fresh pulp from mangoes. – just make puree out of ripe mango flesh in a blender.
- Instead of individual cups, cheesecake may be prepared in a baking dish with layering the bottom with crust. Spring-form baking dish works well for this purpose
- A ready no-bake 9in Graham Pie Crust may be used instead of making the bottom layer
- You may serve Mango cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Top Jelly layer may be skipped and just serve with whipped cream and/or fresh cut mango pieces.
- You may substitute gelatin with agar agar.
