| Comments: Pureed fresh mango gives this cheesecake a light and soft texture and a subtle tropical fruit flavor. |
Ingredients:  Crust: 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/2 cup granulated sugar 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick/3 oz/85g) unsalted butter, melted Filling: 3 large very ripe mangoes (each about 13 ounces), peeled, pitted, coarsely chopped 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 4 large eggs Serve with: Sliced, peeled and pitted mangoes |
| Instructions: For Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C. Lightly butter a 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Stir cracker crumbs and sugar in medium bowl to blend. Add melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom (not sides) of prepared pan. Bake until crust is set, about 12 minutes. Cool completely. Maintain oven temperature. For Filling: Puree mangoes in processor until smooth. Set aside 2 cups mango puree (reserve any remaining puree for another use or use to spread over top of cheesecake). Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the reserved 2 cups mango puree and beat until well blended. Pour filling over crust in pan. Bake cake until set and puffed and golden around edges (center may move very slightly when pan is gently shaken), about 1 hour 25 minutes. Cool cake 1 hour. Refrigerate uncovered overnight. Run small knife between cake and sides of pan to loosen. Remove pan sides. Transfer cake to platter. Cut into wedges and serve with sliced mangoes. Makes 12 servings. |

I pureed 4 mangos just because I had that many that were ripe. Then I made the recipe as described, but added the extra mango as a swirl throughout the cheesecake. This was a definite hit!

I am crazy about mango and my hubby is a cheesecake lover, so it is great treat for us. I tried this recipe and I just added a little cardamom powder. This dessert was really a big hit with my family. Thanks for sharing this great recipe with us.

I made this using canned mango and reduced the sugar. The cheesecake has a mild mango flavor so i added lime juice and some orange extract to boost the citrus flavors! Then i made a mango glaze using some of the leftover juice from the cans. This made it a bit more "mango-y". Very good though!

I found this cheesecake a bit bland, even though I added 2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier to boost the flavour. It's very creamy and light. There just seemed to be something missing in the flavour. I used fresh mangoes, but would try canned puree the next time. Made a gingersnap crust instead of the crust in the recipe. I reduced the sugar in the filling to 1 cup and that was plenty. The cheesecake tested done after 1 hour. I turned the oven off and left it in for another hour with the door open. Served it with a berry sauce made with blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. The tart sauce was perfect with the sweet cheesecake.

I'm a mango lover and this cheesecake was the best one I've ever tasted. I replaced the sugar with sweetened condensed milk and WOW it was good.

I made about 5 for the holidays this year, but I tweaked it a little bit. Instead of using mangoes I used premade mango pulp and only 1 cup of sugar. It was amazing, everyone loved it. Thanks so much for the recipe.
