Instructions
Step 1
Start by crushing the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a blender. It's important to achieve a consistent crumb texture.
Next, melt the unsalted butter and combine it with the biscuit crumbs. Mix until you have a uniform, crumbly, and slightly sticky texture.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, cornstarch, egg yolk, and whole eggs. Mix everything together until you obtain a smooth and dense consistency.
This step is crucial for ensuring a creamy cheesecake filling.
Step 3
Take your prepared crust mixture and press it evenly into the bottom and sides of a 20 cm (about 8 inches) springform pan. This will form a solid base for your cheesecake.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the crust, spreading it evenly across the top.
Bake the cheesecake initially at 200°C (about 392°F) for the first 15 minutes. This helps to set the edges quickly.
Then, reduce the temperature to 100°C (about 212°F) and continue baking for an additional 90 minutes.
Step 4
Once baking is complete, allow the cheesecake to cool inside the oven with the door slightly ajar. This gradual cooling helps prevent cracking.
After it has cooled completely, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and let it chill overnight. This step enhances the flavors and textures of the cheesecake.
Step 5
Before serving, generously top the chilled cheesecake with fresh mango slices and lime zest. This not only adds a beautiful presentation but also a refreshing flavor contrast.
Your classic mango cheesecake is now ready to be enjoyed!

Faq
- Can I use frozen mango instead of fresh mango?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain excess water before using it in the cheesecake. This ensures your cheesecake won't be too watery!
- How do I know when my cheesecake is done baking?
The cheesecake should be slightly jiggly in the center when it’s done. It will firm up as it cools, giving you that perfect texture!
- Can I change the flavor of the cheesecake?
Yes! You can substitute mango with any other fruit puree like raspberry or strawberry for a delicious twist on the classic recipe.
- What’s the best way to store leftover cheesecake?
Store it in the fridge, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days!
- What if my cheesecake cracks while baking?
Don’t worry; it can happen! To prevent cracking in the future, avoid overmixing the filling and ensure the oven temperature isn’t too high.
- How can I make my cheesecake smoother?
Mix your cream cheese thoroughly at room temperature before adding other ingredients. This reduces lumps and ensures a beautifully creamy texture!
