Instructions

Mix crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits with melted butter. Press firmly into the base of a springform pan. Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.
Peel and chop ripe mangoes. Blend until smooth and strain (optional) for a silky texture.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix in mango puree and lemon juice.
In another bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it gently into the mango mixture.
If using gelatin, bloom it in water for 5 minutes. Heat gently until dissolved and quickly mix into the filling.
Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 6–8 hours (or overnight) to set.
Top with fresh mango cubes, whipped cream, mint leaves, or toasted coconut flakes. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

– Use ripe, sweet mangoes for maximum flavor. Substitute plant-based ingredients for vegan diets.

– Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–5 days. Freeze slices wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
