Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is evenly blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring the crust is packed tightly and evenly distributed. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

      Make the cheesecake filling:

        In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, free of lumps. Gradually add in the chilled coconut cream, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are seamlessly combined and the mixture is fluffy.

          Add mango flavor:

            Carefully fold in the mango puree and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Use a spatula to gently combine until the filling is a smooth, uniform color, ensuring the mango flavor is evenly distributed.

              Dissolve gelatin:

                In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. After blooming, heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until it becomes liquid, being careful not to let it boil. Stir the liquefied gelatin into the cheesecake filling, mixing thoroughly to ensure it is fully incorporated.

                  Combine and chill:

                    Pour the prepared cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight until the cheesecake is fully set and firm to the touch.

                      Garnish and serve:

                        Once the cheesecake is set, carefully release the sides of the springform pan to reveal the cheesecake. Decorate the top with fresh mango slices arranged attractively, a light sprinkle of shredded coconut, and fresh mint leaves if desired for a pop of color. Slice into generous pieces and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.
