Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder (optional, for no-bake version)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Mango Puree

  • 3 large fresh ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix thoroughly with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a compact layer. Refrigerate to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Mango Puree: Peel and chop fresh mangoes, then puree them using a blender or food processor until smooth. Stir in fresh lime juice to brighten the flavor. Set aside for layering or swirling into the cheesecake.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until silky smooth. If using gelatin, dissolve it according to package instructions and incorporate it now to help the cheesecake set perfectly.
  4. Combine and Assemble: Gently fold half of the mango puree into the cheesecake filling to infuse a tropical flavor throughout. Pour the combined mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Spoon the remaining mango puree on top, and if desired, create a swirl pattern using a toothpick or knife.
  5. Chill Until Set: Cover the assembled cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm for easy slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Bring cream cheese and sour cream to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Mix filling just until smooth to maintain a light, airy cheesecake.
  • If using gelatin, ensure it is fully dissolved to prevent graininess.
  • Press the crust firmly and evenly to avoid cracking or crumbling when serving.
  • Chill the cheesecake long enough for clean, beautiful slices.
