Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers, finely crushed

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for added sweetness)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

2 cups cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

¾ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup ripe mango puree (freshly blended or canned)

1 tablespoon gelatin (optional; for extra firmness)

2 tablespoons cold water (for blooming gelatin, if used)

For the Topping:

1 cup fresh or canned mango slices

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

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

      - Firmly press the biscuit mixture 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 ensure it’s tightly packed. Once done, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.

        Make the Cheesecake Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it’s creamy and smooth.

            - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.

              - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate it.

                - If using gelatin, sprinkle it over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. Once bloomed, gently warm the gelatin until fully dissolved (either in a microwave in 5-second bursts or using a double boiler). Mix the dissolved gelatin into the mango puree. If you’re skipping the gelatin, just blend the mango puree directly into the cheesecake mixture.

                  - Carefully fold the mango mixture into the cream cheese filling until everything is evenly combined.

                    Assemble the Cheesecake:

                      - Pour the creamy cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly.

                        - Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is completely set (overnight chilling is recommended for best results).

                          Add the Topping:

                            - Once the cheesecake is nicely set, gently remove it from the springform pan. Arrange the mango slices artistically on top of the cheesecake.

                              - For a vibrant touch, scatter fresh mint leaves around the mango slices as a garnish.

                                Serve:

                                  - Use a sharp knife to slice through the cheesecake with ease. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful tropical flavors! Any leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator.
