Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
For the Mango Swirl:
- 1 1/2 cups mango puree (fresh or canned)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, depending on sweetness of mango)
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (optional, for a firmer texture)
- 2 tablespoons hot water
For Garnish:
- Fresh mango slices or chunks
- Whipped cream
- Graham cracker crumbs (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or mini cheesecake molds. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream and Greek yogurt or sour cream until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Make the mango swirl:
- If your mango puree is too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of water.
- (Optional) If you prefer a firmer mango layer, dissolve 2 teaspoons of gelatin in 2 tablespoons of hot water and mix into the mango puree.
- Gently pour or spoon the mango puree over the cheesecake filling.
- Use a toothpick or a knife to create swirls by dragging it through the cheesecake and mango layers to create a marbled effect.
- Chill the cheesecake:
- Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
- Garnish and serve:
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with whipped cream and fresh mango slices or chunks.
- Sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs on top for added texture.
