This delicious tropical mango cheesecake is a no-bake wonder making it a great dessert for entertaining Be sure to gently fold in the whipped cream, so as not to knock out too much of the air.


 

Ingredients

10 Granita or other plain, sweetened biscuits
120 g (1 cup) finely chopped walnuts
50 g unsalted butter, melted
2 ripe, firm mangoes, thinly sliced, to decorate

Filling
1 tbsp powdered gelatin
60 ml (¼ cup) warm water
2 x 250g blocks cream cheese, softened
220 g (1 cup) caster sugar
4 very ripe mangoes, flesh removed and coarsely pureed
500 ml (2 cups) thickened cream, whipped to soft peaks

Preparation

Chilling time: 3 hours

Level of difficulty: medium
Season: Summer

Place the biscuits in a plastic bag and pound with a rolling pin to crush. Empty crumbs into a large bowl, then add the chopped walnuts and melted butter and combine well. Press crumbs into the base of a lightly greased, deep 22cm springform tin. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chilled and firm. 

To make the filling, place the gelatin and warm water in a small bowl and stir until dissolved. Using an electric mixer on medium–high speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, reduce speed to low and slowly add the mango puree and combine well. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold in the whipped cream and slightly cooled gelatin mixture. Pour the mango mixture into the prepared tin. Decorate with thinly sliced mango and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
