Eggless No-Bake Mango Cheesecake

Hey Guys and Girls! 

Being the first food post of this blog, I figured it should be something that is LUSCIOUSLY DECADENT. This recipe, I gained in my search of eggless cheesecakes from a fellow writer of Sharmis Passions. Although I did tweak the recipe slightly, the taste is still as exquisite. 

Ingredients:

• 250 gm Philadelphia Cream Cheese  {1 Block}
• 170 ml   Pure Cream
• ½ cup Caster Sugar
• 800gm Tin Mangoes (Juice Drained)
• Gelatine - 1 Tbsp
• Hot Water - 1/4 cup
• 250 gm  Scotch Finger  {1 packet }
• 75 gm Unsalted Butter, melted.

 Method

1. Whiz the biscuits in a food processor/blender. Add melted butter and whiz again until the mixture comes together. Press into the bottom of an 8" springform pan that's lined with baking paper. Refrigerate while preparing the rest of the cheesecake. 
2. Beat the caster sugar and cream cheese, using a hand mixer, until light and fluffy and well combined. Add cream slowly to the mixture until all is combined in a smooth mixture. 
3. Add mangoes to a blender and whiz until mixture is smooth.
4. Add the gelatine to the hot water and stir till it completely dissolves. Add the mango puree and stir well. The mixture should make 1 - 2 cups.
5. Place half the mixture (1 cup) of the mango puree and add the rest to the cream cheese mixture. Stir gently until well combined. 
6. Pour on top of the biscuit base. Tap baking pan on bench lightly to remove any air bubbles and have a smooth top. Return to fridge for another 30 - 45 mins. 
7. Pour the mango puree as the third layer. Do this gently so that the layers don't combine.
8. Refrigerate overnight and get ready to serve a yummy dessert at your party that can be prepared well in advance!

This recipe has become of one of my favourite desserts to make when guests are coming over and it yields a refreshing taste in your mouth from the mango layer on top. I tend to have a creative flare when it comes to desserts to I try to make them look as beautiful as possible with the fresh cream layer on top and is completely optional.

Until next time.......
