Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mango puree
- 2 tablespoons passionfruit pulp
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 1/4 cup mango puree for topping
- 1/4 cup passionfruit pulp for topping
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Fresh mango slices or cubes for garnish
- Passionfruit seeds for garnish
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand. Divide this mix among the liners and press down firmly. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden, then let them cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, mango puree, and passionfruit pulp, mixing well. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Spoon the filling into the cooled crusts, almost to the top. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, mix the mango puree, passionfruit pulp, and honey (if using). Drizzle this mixture over the cheesecakes and swirl it with a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Cover the cheesecakes and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, remove the cheesecakes from the liners and garnish with fresh mango, passionfruit seeds, and mint leaves.
Notes
For added flavor, use fresh mango and passionfruit whenever possible. Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
