Ingredients
Method
For the Base:
- Prepare two muffin trays with cupcake liners.
- Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and add it to the crushed biscuits. Mix well.
- Add this mixture in small portions to each cupcake liner.
- Use the bottom of a small glass to press down and compact the crumbs. Place the trays in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
For the Filling:
- Peel two ripe mangoes and add the pulp to a blender. Blend until you get a smooth puree. Set aside about 80g of mango puree for the topping.
- In a bowl, add the cream cheese and beat it well with an electric whisk.
- Add powdered sugar and Greek yogurt. Beat again at low speed or mix with a spatula.
- Add the mango puree, lime zest (if using), and lime juice. Mix with a spatula.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually add this whipped cream to the cream cheese and mango mixture. Gently mix with folding motions until well combined.
- Remove the muffin trays from the freezer and use an ice cream scoop to fill each liner. Tap gently to level.
- Place the trays in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until they are firm.
For the Topping:
- In a small saucepan, combine the reserved mango puree, sugar, and lime juice.
- Cook until the sugar is dissolved, then let it cool completely.
Final Presentation:
- Remove the muffin trays from the freezer and peel off the cupcake liners. Place the mini cheesecakes on a serving plate.
- Add a spoonful of the topping to each cheesecake. Top with diced mango pieces and a mint leaf.
- Enjoy your delicious no-bake mini mango cheesecakes!
Notes
- To make mango puree, you need ripe mangoes. Unlike Indian mangoes, those available here often have quite a bit of fiber. That’s why I usually strain the mango after blending to obtain a smooth puree. If you can’t find ripe mangoes, an alternative is to use canned mango pulp, which also works well.
- Cream cheese and yogurt should be at room temperature.
- The cream must be well chilled before whipping.
- Leave them out of the freezer for 10-12 minutes before serving so that the texture is creamy.
