Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar (optional)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy whipping cream

¾ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup ripe mango puree (fresh or canned)

1 tablespoon gelatin (optional, for firmness)

2 tablespoons cold water (if using gelatin)

For the Topping:

1 cup mango slices (fresh or canned)

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

      - Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to pack it down tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

        Make the Cheesecake Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

            - Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.

              - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.

                - If using gelatin, sprinkle it over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Then, warm gently (either in a microwave in 5-second bursts or over a double boiler) until completely dissolved. Mix the gelatin with the mango puree. If not using gelatin, simply blend the mango puree directly into the cheesecake mixture.

                  - Carefully fold the mango mixture into the cheesecake filling until evenly distributed.

                    Assemble the Cheesecake:

                      - Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                        - Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set (overnight is best).

                          Add the Topping:

                            - Once the cheesecake is set, carefully remove it from the springform pan. Arrange the mango slices on top of the cheesecake. For a pop of color, sprinkle fresh mint leaves around the slices as garnish.

                              Serve:

                                - Slice the cheesecake with a sharp knife and enjoy the tropical flavors! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
