Ingredients
  

For the crust:

200g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)

100g unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar (optional)

For the filling:

400g cream cheese, softened

200ml heavy whipping cream

100g powdered sugar

300g ripe mango puree (from about 2 large mangoes, blended until smooth)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

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

3 tablespoons warm water

For the topping:

Fresh mango slices

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Start by breaking the digestive biscuits into smaller pieces and place them in a food processor. Blend until you achieve a fine crumb consistency. Pour in the melted butter and add the sugar if you are using it. Pulse the mixture until everything is evenly combined. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even base. Place this crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

    Make the filling: In a spacious mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is light and thoroughly combined.

      Whip the cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This step is crucial for a light and airy texture in your cheesecake. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care to preserve its airy volume.

        Add mango puree: Gradually fold the ripe mango puree into the mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated for a rich and creamy filling that marries beautifully with the cream cheese.

          Prepare the gelatin: In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with the warm water, stirring until fully dissolved and there are no lumps. Allow it to cool slightly before incorporating it into the mango filling. Mix thoroughly to ensure it is well distributed.

            Combine and pour: Carefully pour the mango cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top. To eliminate any trapped air bubbles, gently tap the pan on the counter a few times.

              Chill and set: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is completely set and firm to the touch.

                Garnish and serve: Once set, cautiously remove the sides of the springform pan to reveal the cheesecake. Top your gorgeous cheesecake with fresh mango slices and sprigs of mint for a pop of color and freshness. Slice and serve chilled to enjoy this tropical dessert.
