This ultimate creamy mango cheesecake will melt in your mouth. Recently I have been making non bake ones as I find them a bit lighter. Baked cheesecakes of course are outstanding as well but can be very heavy after a meal. So I tend to do this no bake ones more often.
Cheesecakes can be intimidating for non bakers, probably because they look so good. But really if you take a look at the instructions it is not too difficult. Baked cheesecakes can be a bit tough until you get the hang of them because they tend to crack in the oven. That’s another lesson 🙂
I used fresh mangoes for this one but it will work just fine with defrosted and drained frozen ones. Of course you can also use another fruit of your choice, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, anything. So pick your favourite flavour and whip up a delicious dessert for some friends and family
Hope you try this recipe and enjoy it as much as my family did.
Happy Cooking!
