...About No Bake Mango Cheesecake




Grand Aunt Karen and I made this cake, as we have no idea how much cooking gas we have left (gas oven) we dare not bake anything yet until the current tong has run out and a new one bought.

Very easy cake to make. Just make sure you have enough space in your fridge to chill it!

Recipe taken from 'Favourite Cupcakes and Cheesecakes' by Page One Publishing.

Ingredients:

Base:
90g butter
250g Digestives biscuits, finely crushed

Filling:
200g cream cheese
50g Sugar
2 mangoes (book did not specify the weight, we use average sized ones)
1 and 1/2 tablespoons gelatine2/3 cup thickened cream, whipped



Method:

Base:
1. Melt the butter and stir in the biscuit crumbs. Press into the base of a lined 20cm springform tin. Chill until firm.

Filling:
2. Place the cream cheese and the sugar in a bowl and beat together.
3. Peel, stone and puree 1 mango, add to the cheese and sugar, mix well.
4. Dissolve the gelatine in 1/4 cup warm water, add to the mango mixture, then add the cream.
5. Mix well, spoon into the cake tin and smooth the surface. Place in refrigerator until set.
6. Chop the remaining mango to decorate the cheesecake and serve with extra whipped cream.




Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
