Oh-great! Me and my baking mode and mood turned on. Attuned and lighted up like a bright wishing star. Having said that, seriously, I had no slightest idea what should be baking in my oven (Cream Puff, Marble Cake & Chocolate Rum Tart) or should it be over the stove simmering or frying sweet guilty pleasure (Poached Pears in Citrus Syrup, Grapefruit Coconut Jelly & Fried Apple Fritters). Honestly, I was rather confused. I really couldn't comprehend, but the fact was that I had already bought a ripe like me in my age mango (Mango Coconut Cake, Mango Cucumber Salad & Mango Coconut Jelly). Mango! Don't we all love the sweet tangy mango? I do. I also must include the sour notes from pineapple (Pineapple Bread Pudding) and lemon (Lemon Cream Pie & Lemon Buttermilk Cake). Yet, staring at the mango didn't get me any further until I remembered my previous No Bake Cheesecake. Decided. Its gonna be cheesecake. Mango Cheesecake. The same biscuit theory. Not digestive biscuits but cream crackers. Would you try? What should hold your back? After all, you never try, you never know and you must put your trust in me.
Ingredients
For the bottom layer/crust
250g cream crackers - crushed
100g salted butter
For the top creamy layer
1 (about 500g) ripe mango - remove skin and seed. Process/blend for a thick puree
250g mascarpone cheese
150g cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Method
For the bottom layer/crust

Add in mango puree and continue to whisk for a smooth consistency.
Pour over the bottom layer.
Pour over the bottom layer.
Bake on preheated oven at 180C for about 1 hour or until the top layer is fully set and does not jiggle.
Cool down the cake and chill in the fridge.
Beautifully done, Nava! I love the idea of a mango puree incorporated into the filling...so yummy! Look at you with another dessert :)

The cream cheese/marscapone blend are great together in cheesecakes and mango was a great choice of fruit. I am glad that you experimented with the crust some, I am always amazed at the variation that is out there. This does look like a winner-simply delicious!

Missy - I think some of those who commented here did not read through to realise that this cheesecake needs baking. I don't think this cake can be done without baking.
