Instructions
1
First, crush the biscuits into a fine powder — use a food processor, or alternatively place them in a zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Next, mix them with melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Then press firmly into the base of a lined cake tin or individual glasses to make an even, compact layer. Finally, refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up while you prepare the filling.

Meanwhile, in a chilled bowl, whip the cold whipping cream with powdered sugar until fluffy and soft peaks form. Chilling the bowl and beaters beforehand gives you the best, most stable results. As a result, you’ll get a much more consistent and airy texture.
💡 Don’t over-whip — soft peaks are perfect here. Moreover, the mixture firms up further as the cheesecake sets in the fridge.

Next, add the softened cream cheese and vanilla essence into the whipped cream and mix until completely smooth and lump-free — about 2 minutes with a hand mixer.
Subsequently, fold in the mango puree and lemon juice until the colour is beautifully uniform. As a result, the filling should be thick, silky, and fragrant — exactly what you’re looking for.

Once the base is chilled, pour the cheesecake mixture on top and spread evenly with a spatula. Additionally, gently tap the tin on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Then cover with cling film and refrigerate until fully set — at least 4–6 hours. However, overnight is always better for a creamier, perfectly sliceable texture.

💡 Make this the night before your event for the best results — consequently, the flavours meld beautifully overnight!

Once the cheesecake is fully set, prepare the mango jelly and let it cool to room temperature — it should be pourable but not warm. Then gently pour a thin layer on top of the set cheesecake and tilt to spread evenly.
After that, return to the fridge for another 1 hour until the jelly layer is completely set.

✨ Alternatively, you can use cooled mango puree instead of jelly on top — equally gorgeous and even simpler!

Finally, add fresh mango cubes on top for garnish. Furthermore, mint leaves add a beautiful pop of colour. Before unmoulding, run a thin knife around the edge for clean, sharp sides.

Pro Tips
- ●First and foremost, use ripe, sweet Alphonso or Kesar mangoes for the best natural flavour and colour.
- ●Additionally, room temperature cream cheese is non-negotiable — cold cream cheese leaves lumps. Therefore, take it out at least an hour before you start.
- ●Always chill your bowl and beaters before whipping cream — as a result, you’ll get stiffer, more stable peaks.
- ●Overnight setting gives a creamier, more sliceable texture — consequently, plan ahead if you can!
- ●Furthermore, refrigerate the cake for at least 30 mins before slicing for sharp, clean cuts.
- ●Finally, to cut calories: swap full-fat cream for light cream or Greek yogurt frosting, and reduce sugar — it still tastes amazing!
