MANGO CHEESE CAKE

NOTE; With Mango season in its peak I made this mango cheesecake for dessert.This wonderful dessert tastes YUM. You can make the same cheesecake using any other fruit too. Also I have used Agar Agar instead of gelatin .If you want you can use gelatin

(Gelatin – 1 sachet can be used for this cheese cake.Cook as instructed  and mix in the cream cheese mango pure and mango puree.)

Ingredients

Base

1.     Digestive biscuits – 12

2.     Butter – 2 tsps

3.     Honey: 2 tablsp

4. Square cake tin or even square glass serving bowl.

Cream cheese mixture (middle layer)

4.     Double Fresh cream – 150 ml 

5.      Cream cheese – 120 gms ( I have used Britannia)

6.     Sugar – 1/3 cup

7.     Mango puree (Fresh)  – 3/4 cup

8. Mango essence: 2 tsp (optional)

For glaze on top (third layer)

1.     Mango puree – 3/4 cup

2.      Agar Agar–  5 gms (1 packet 10 gms)

3.     Water – 1/2 cup

4.     Mango slices for garnishing (optional) 

METHOD:

1 Biscuit base

Crush the biscuits in the food processor/ mixer and add melted butter,honey and whiz again until the mixture comes together. Once done, spoon it in a greased cake tin .Press well and refrigerate for 20 mins for the base to firm up.

2 Middle part:

Cut Agar Agar to small pieces in a bowl and soak in 1/2 cup of hot water for 15 mins. After 15 mins Heat this agar agar on gas stove till it dissolves . Cool till warm

3. Add double cream in a bowl and whisk till it is just starts to thicken.Add the cream cheese and whisk further along with sugar till the blend is smooth.

To this add the mango puree ,mango essence and mix in gently.  Now gently add half of the agar agar liquid and blend well.

4.Remove the biscuit base from the fridge.Pour the mango cream cheese mix over it and set in the fridge till it sets.(Approx 1 and 1/2  hr).

Top glaze

1.     The other remaining Agar Agar should be warm (heat it again) add to the mango puree and mix well.  After 1&1/2 hrs once the top base is set remove the cheesecake from the fridge.Pour Mango puree mixture as a top layer, which should be thin layer not like the middle one, on the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate few hours or overnight till the cheesecake is set.

       Garnish with mango slices. Slice and serve cool.
