Don’t let this presentation fool you. I needed at least ONE cheesecake that was plain. Except this one isn’t. Hidden inside the creamy and light filling is a hint of mango. In your first forkfull you will raise your eyebrows and wonder what that flavor is. I tend to shy away from mango because I am never quite sure if they are ripe. This taste sensation though, mixed into the cheesecake, was a delightful surprise. It definitely is on my list to make again! Maybe as a no bake??

Mango Cheesecake
Ingredients
Crust:
- 8 ounces about 15 2 1/2-by-5-inch graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 stick butter softened and cut into pieces
Filling:
- 4 small mangoes to make approximately 2 cups purée
- 1 ½ pounds cream cheese
- 1 cup superfine sugar
- 6 large eggs
- Juice of half a lime
Instructions
Crust:
- Place graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor. Process until they are almost fine crumbs. Add dark brown sugar and butter. Process until mixture clumps together like damp sand. Press mixture evenly into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate while preparing filling.
Filling:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Bring a kettle of water to boil. Peel and cut flesh from mangoes and purée in food processor until smooth. Add cream cheese and process until smooth. Add superfine sugar, and with motor running, add eggs one at a time through the processor's feed tube. Add lime juice, and process until blended.
- Place springform pan on a double layer of strong foil. Crimp edges up around pan to make a waterproof nest. Place foil-covered pan in a deep roasting pan. Scrape filling into pan and pour boiling water into roasting pan to come about halfway up sides of cake pan.
- Bake until filling is set and wobbles slightly in the center (it will continue to cook as it cools), about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Remove springform pan from water bath. Discard foil and place pan on a cooling rack. When cool, refrigerate overnight. To serve, remove from pan and place on a serving platter before slicing.

I often shy away from mangos as I am unsure about ripeness too. I love them though, and I love the look and sound of this cheesecake, Marilyn. Definitely want to give it a try! Thank you so much for sharing, and for being a part of The Hearth and Soul Link Party.

I love mangoes but by the time I’m done slicing them they’re a mangled mess. That being said, I’m willing to give a go again for this recipe.
LOL. That is exactly why you don’t see intact fruit in that picture!! Have a great week.
Mangos? And cheesecake? Yes, THANK YOU, I think I will! Perfect timing, too, as mangos are at their annual low price ’round these parts! Thanks for the inspiration…and thanks for sharing this at Coffee and Conversation, Marilyn. It’s always a pleasure to see you over there each week…
Have an awesome time in the kitchen – I’ll be thinking of you fondly as I’m getting this one ready 😉
Thank you for your kind words Pat. I want to know all the details when you serve this up. I hesitated trying this one because I am afraid of mangoes. I have allwrgies to many fruits. But it was worth it and am glad no hives! Have a great week!
I love making cheesecakes and adding mangos makes this one sounds so wonderfully tropical!
It is an unusual combo for sure. I have no clue why! Have a great week!
Hi Marilyn! You are always making such amazing things! You must live in the kitchen! Thanks for sharing at Celebrate Your Story!
It seems like that. I have slowed down a lot and am now recycling older recipes. But they always inspire me to do more!! Thanks Chloe.
Mmmm! Mangoes. I do love chocolate, but there is just something about fruit cheesecake that I prefer.

This looks so good. I buy frozen mangoes. I find it saves wastage! It seems like this recipe will work just fine with thawed mangoes too. Darn! Now I’m really craving this cheesecake and I don’t have cream cheese in the house. Or frozen mangoes either. I ate the last of them a few days ago. I guess I better add them to my next shopping list!
Time for a grocery run!! Mine always happen after 9:00pm. LOL. Thanks for commenting and have a great week!
