How to Make Mango Lime Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 3⁄4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 5 tbsp salted butter, melted
• 1 ripe mango, peeled and cut
• 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 1⁄3 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp lime zest
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Toasted coconut (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, shredded coconut, and melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let the crust cool.

2. Blend the mango and lime juice until smooth. In another bowl, blend the cream cheese and sugar, adding the eggs one at a time. Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, mango-lime puree, and lime zest. Pour this mixture over the cooled crust.

3. Wrap the pan in foil, place it in a baking dish, and fill it with water. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 60 to 65 minutes until the cheesecake is barely jiggly. Let it cool in the oven, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

4. For the glaze, blend the mango and juices until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan, add a few tablespoons of the puree, then gradually add the rest. Heat until it boils, then cool.

5. Whip the heavy cream until it thickens. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and continue to whip until you get stiff peaks.

6. Pipe the whipped cream around the cheesecake edge, pour the glaze in the center, and garnish with toasted coconut and lime zest.

How to Serve Mango Lime Cheesecake

Serve Mango Lime Cheesecake chilled. It makes a lovely centerpiece for any gathering. You can slice it into wedges, and it pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of extra mango glaze.

How to Store Mango Lime Cheesecake

If you have leftovers, store the cheesecake in the refrigerator. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh. It will stay good for about 3 to 5 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage. Just wrap it well and it can last for about one month in the freezer.

Tips to Make Mango Lime Cheesecake

• Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps the cheesecake mix together more smoothly.

Variation

You can add other fruits like passion fruit or pineapple to the glaze for a different flavor. If you prefer a more traditional cheesecake, you can skip the mango and lime and use just vanilla instead.
