Ingredients
Scale
For the Graham Cracker Base
- 75 grams crushed graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 225 grams cream cheese, softened
- 100 grams mango puree
- 125 ml whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
For the Mango Topping
- 75 grams mango puree
- Mango slices or cubes (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Graham Cracker Base: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Evenly press this mixture into the bottom of individual jars or cups to create a firm crust. Place them in the freezer for 30 minutes to set firmly.
- Make the Mango Puree: Peel and dice fresh mangoes, then blend them until smooth to create fresh mango puree. Set aside for use in the filling and topping.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the mango puree, lemon juice, and vanilla essence, then continue beating until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Whip the Cream and Combine: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream to maintain a light texture.
- Assemble the Mango Cheesecake Cups: Spoon the cream cheese and mango filling evenly into the prepared jars over the graham cracker crust. Smooth the tops with a spatula, then add a layer of mango puree on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Freeze and Serve: Place the assembled cheesecake cups in the freezer for at least 4 hours to allow them to set properly. Before serving, let the cheesecakes sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for better texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe and sweet mangoes to maximize flavor.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Press the graham cracker crust firmly to prevent it from falling apart.
- You can substitute whipping cream with heavy cream if preferred.
- Allow cheesecakes to soften briefly at room temperature before serving for a creamier texture.
- Optional garnishes like fresh mango slices add a nice presentation touch.
