Mango Cheesecake (No Bake)

Mangoes and Cheese! I think these are two things which most of us love. A cake combining these two… and its just pure indulgence! Here is a no bake mango cheese cake recipe. Try it out and you are sure to love it.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes (for the glaze)

Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 pack digestive biscuits
4 tbsp. butter (softened)

For the Cream Cheese Filling:
Gelatin : 2 tbsp
Water : 1/4 cup
Fresh cream : 3/4 cup
Cream cheese : 1 cup
Sugar : 3/4 cup (powdered)
Mango pulp : 1 cup

For the Glaze:
Mango : 1 (pulp – approximately 1 cup)
Lemon Juice : 1-2 tbsp
Sugar : 2-3 tbsp (can be increased or decreased based on the sweetness of the mangoes.
Water : 3-4 tbsp

Method of Preparation:
For the crust:

1. Roughly break the biscuits into pieces and add to a mixer. Add the butter and grind till the biscuits are completely powdered and the butter is well mixed with the biscuit crumbs.
2. Press in a loose bottomed or spring base tin and place in freezer. I used Alda Bakeware Spring Form Cake Tin Set, 3-Pieces

For the cream cheese filling:

1. Add the cream cheese, fresh cream, sugar to a blender and blend.
2. Add the mango pulp and blend till you have a uniform mixture. Keep aside.
3. Pour 1/4 cup water into small vessel. Sprinkle gelatin over. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Place this on a double boiler and stir till gelatin dissolves. ( Basically gelatin should not come in contact with direct heat. So you need to place the bowl containing gelatin inside a bowl containing water which needs to be kept on a low flame.)
4. Once the gelatin is completely dissolved add it to the cream cheese mixture.
5. Pour this on the biscuit base and refrigerate for 3-4 hours atleast.

For the Mango glaze :

1. Add the mango pulp, sugar and lemon juice to a blender till you have a smooth puree.
2. Add this to a saucepan with 2-3 tbsp water and bring to a boil.
3. Simmer and keep stirring for 3 minutes.
4. Let this Mango glaze come to room temperature. Add on the cheese cake and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
   Push the base upwards and gently get your cake out of the tin along with the base… and.. Well.. Indulge!
