Ingredients
  

For the crust:

200g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)

100g unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

400g cream cheese, softened at room temperature

200ml heavy whipping cream

150g powdered sugar (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

200g ripe mango puree (can be made from fresh or canned mangoes)

2 teaspoons gelatin powder (or agar-agar for a vegetarian option)

3 tablespoons cold water

For the mango topping:

1 large ripe mango, diced

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    - Begin by placing the digestive biscuits into a food processor and blend them until they reach a fine crumb consistency.

      - In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with melted butter, stirring until every crumb is evenly coated.

        - Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, pressing it firmly with the back of a spoon to form an even, compact layer. Ensure that the crust is tightly pressed to hold its shape.

          - Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill and firm up while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

            Make the cheesecake filling:

              - In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for approximately 5 minutes to allow it to bloom.

                - In a larger mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until it's smooth and creamy.

                  - Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and silky.

                    - Slowly incorporate the mango puree, blending continuously until the mixture is uniform.

                      - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold this into the mango mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

                        Incorporate the gelatin:

                          - After the gelatin has bloomed, gently heat it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly before combining it with the cheesecake filling.

                            - Carefully pour the melted gelatin into the mango cheesecake mixture, folding it in gently to ensure even distribution without losing the light texture.

                              Assemble the cheesecake:

                                - Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the creamy mango filling over it, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even finish.

                                  - Cover the springform pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight, giving the cheesecake ample time to set firmly.

                                    Prepare the mango topping:

                                      - In a small bowl, mix together the diced mango, honey (or maple syrup), and lime juice. Toss gently to ensure all mango pieces are well coated in the mixture.

                                        - Once the cheesecake is thoroughly set, carefully remove it from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate.

                                          - Spoon the fresh mango topping over the cheesecake just before serving for a vibrant and fruity finish.

                                            Slice, serve, and enjoy!

                                              - Slice the cheesecake into wedges, serve chilled, and savor each creamy, tropical bite!
