Step By Step Instructions
Whip up this unbaked mango cheesecake the day before – this way it chills as the flavours blend perfectly. And you’re all set to go!
Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.
Step 1 – Make The Base/Crust
Firstly, grease the base and sides of a 20cm round springform pan.
Then crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender.
Next, pour over the melted butter and mix together well.
If you are using a Thermomix, melt the butter in the bowl for 2 minutes at 100 degrees, Speed 1. Then, add the biscuits and crush for 10 seconds at Speed 10. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat the process until the mixture is well combined.
Press the crumb mixture very firmly into the base of the prepared pan and place it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
Step 2 – Make The Cheesecake Filling
To make the filling, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, then set it aside.
If you are using a Thermomix, whip the cream in a clean and dry bowl at Speed 3 until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, caster sugar, and mango pieces on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, pale, and creamy.
If you are using a Thermomix, beat the cream cheese, caster sugar and mango pieces for 30 seconds at Speed 5, then scrape down the sides with a spatula and repeat the process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Note: The mixture will still have some small mango pieces remaining.
Step 3 – Dissolve The Gelatine
Next, dissolve the gelatine and when it has cooled, beat it into the mixture until it is well combined. If you are using a Thermomix, add the cooled, dissolved gelatine to the mixture and mix for 30 seconds, Speed 5.
Note: See Expert Tips for details on how to dissolve gelatine.
Step 3 – Fold In The Whipped Cream
Fold the whipped cream gently into the mixture.
If you are using a Thermomix, use the spatula to fold the whipped cream through the mixture.
Step 4 – Add The Filling And Chill
Spread the filling over the crust and then place the springform pan in the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
When the cheesecake has set, carefully remove it from the pan and decorate with mini meringues and passionfruit pulp (optional).
Expert Tips
- Biscuits/cookies – I like to use Arnott’s Nice biscuits, which are very popular in Australia. If you can’t buy this variety, you can use any type of plain sweet cookie you like, such as Nilla wafers or digestives.
- Dissolving gelatine – place boiling water into a small bowl. Sprinkle over the gelatine powder and whisk quickly with a fork to dissolve. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Room temperature ingredients – for a smooth cheesecake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before using.
- Storing – chill the cheesecake overnight (or for a minimum of 6 hours) and then continue to store it in the fridge until needed. Consume within 3 days.
- Freezing – you can freeze mango cheesecake as a whole or in individual portions. Wrap in a layer of plastic wrap and then a layer of foil and freeze for up to 1 month. To defrost, place the cheesecake into the fridge overnight.
FAQ’s
How long does mango cheesecake last in the fridge?
Cheesecake will last 3 to 4 days in the fridge, but for the best flavour and texture, I recommend consuming the cheesecake within 2 to 3 days.
You can also freeze it, either as a whole or in portions, for up to 1 month. Just be sure to thaw the cheesecake overnight in the fridge before serving.
What is the secret to a good cheesecake?
The secret to a good cheesecake is selecting the right ingredients, and properly mixing/prepping them. Choose a quality brand of cream cheese and other ingredients, such as fresh mangoes for the best results.
To ensure the mixture is smooth and lump-free, ensure all of the ingredients are at room temperature before using. Mix the ingredients together thoroughly with a electric mixer, beaters or Thermomix for a perfectly creamy and delicious cheesecake!
What’s the best way to cut up a mango?
Cutting up a mango can be a slippery challenge, but what’s most important is to start by choosing a ripe but firm fruit. Gently squeeze the mango – it should be firm but ‘give’ slightly.
You want to cut the flesh away from the flat, onlong pit inside. So holding the mango upright on a board, stem side down, slice the two sides away. You should end up with two sides, and a middle section that contains the pit.
Starting with one side, use a paring knife to make lengthwise and crosswise cuts in the cut side, trying not to cut through the peel. Then invert the mango half, so the cut segments stick out. Peel or cut these chunks away from the skin, and repeat with the other side. Cut as much flesh as you can away from the pit in the middle section as well.
