A delightful dessert combining rich creaminess with tropical flavors, featuring a crunchy macadamia nut crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 7 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
  • 32 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups diced ripe mango
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups diced mango for glaze
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar for glaze
  • Juice of one lime

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with baking spray and wrap the outside with foil to prevent leaks.
  3. In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and chopped macadamia nuts.
  4. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, then let the crust cool completely.
  6. Prepare a water bath by filling an oven-safe dish with water and placing it on the top rack of the oven.
  7. Blend the diced mango until smooth.
  8. In a stand mixer, blend the softened cream cheese for about 45 seconds until smooth.
  9. Add sugar, vanilla extract, and mango puree, and blend for another 45 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed.
  10. Add the eggs one at a time, blending just until incorporated after each addition.
  11. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
  12. Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  13. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door. Let the cheesecake cool inside for at least 1 hour.
  14. Wrap the cheesecake in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  15. For the glaze, blend the mango, lime juice, and sugar until smooth.
  16. Garnish the chilled cheesecake with the mango glaze just before serving.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling. The glaze can be garnished with fresh mango or mint leaves for added color.
