Ingredients and substitutes

Cream Cheese – I always use Mascarpone or Philadelphia because that’s what I find in my supermarket. I’m not brand-conscious, so ideally, you can use any cream cheese with a fat content of over 40%. Whipping cream – Again, full-fat is the only way to go here. No low-fat versions. I use 38% fat, which is the highest I get. Sour cream – Adds a real zing, but you must also use full-fat cream. (I use 28%.) You can also use my homemade sour cream recipe, which is made with full-fat cream. Cookie Crust – Graham crackers or digestive biscuits are most commonly used for cheesecake bases. If you don’t have any cookies on hand, you can even make your cheesecake crust from scratch. I have a detailed recipe for you: homemade cheesecake crust. Mango puree – Mangoes are in season, so I have used fresh mangoes. And yet, you can certainly use frozen mangoes for the cheesecake.

Step-by-step: Mango Cheesecake Tart

Crust

Crush the Graham crackers or biscuits in a food processor. Add the sugar and cocoa powder – combine well. Then add the melted butter and stir to combine.Pro tip – You can also place them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Pour the crumbs into a 9-inch tart pan. Use the back of your spoon or measuring cup to press the crumbs firmly to form a crust.Pro tip – Pressing down firmly will ensure a good base for the cheesecake, and it won’t fall apart when you cut slices. Chill in the fridge while you are preparing the batter.

Cheesecake filling

Whipping cream – In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the whipping cream to stiff peaks. Remove from the bowl and set aside. Cream cheese – In the same bowl with the paddle attachment, combine cream cheese and sour cream. Make sure there are no lumps. Add the powdered sugar, salt, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and mango puree. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula. Save 4 tbsp of the cheesecake mixture and 2 tbsp of the mango puree.

Add the rest of the mango puree to the cream cheese filling and combine well. Pour the mixture over the chilled cookie crust. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly. Add spoonfuls of the saved mango puree and cheesecake mixture to the filling. Then, use an offset spatula to create swirls.Pro tip – You can also skip the mango puree swirls on top of the cheesecake filling.

Chill the cheesecake

Chill the cheesecake tart in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours – I prefer to leave it overnight for 12 hours. You can serve this cheesecake as is, and it needs nothing else. I like to garnish with whipped cream swirls.

Tips for Success

Choose Ripe Mangoes: Select ripe, flavorful mangoes for the best taste and texture in your tart. Look for mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a sweet aroma. Chill Ingredients: For a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling, ensure that the cream cheese and whipped cream are well chilled before using them. This will help the filling set properly and prevent it from becoming too soft. Prepare the Crust Properly: Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the tart pan to create a solid base. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed measuring cup to compact the crust, ensuring it holds together well when sliced. Incorporate Mangoes Carefully: Gently fold the diced mangoes into the cheesecake filling to avoid crushing them. This will help distribute the mango pieces evenly throughout the filling without breaking them apart. Chill Thoroughly: Allow the assembled tart to chill in the refrigerator for several hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure it sets properly. This step is crucial for achieving the desired firmness and texture. Decorate Just Before Serving: Add fresh mango slices, mint leaves, or other garnishes to the tart just before serving to maintain their freshness and vibrant appearance. Use a Sharp Knife: When slicing the tart, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts. This will help create clean, neat slices without dragging or tearing the filling. Store Properly: Store any leftover tart in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, to maintain its freshness. Enjoy within a few days for the best taste and texture.
