Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Whip the heavy cream until it thickens. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and continue to whip until you get stiff peaks.
- Pipe the whipped cream around the cheesecake edge, pour the glaze in the center, and garnish with toasted coconut and lime zest.
