Mango Cheesecake Recipe
Recipe for Mango Cheesecake
Creamy, rich and tangy, this baked cheesecake is easy to make and will impress your friends and family. The recipe calls for just three packages of cream cheese, making it more budget-friendly than recipes that call for five. The flavors of mango and Key lime subtly hint of the tropics.
In the United States, homemade cheesecake is usually made with commercially produced cream cheese, although an even more delicious cheesecake can be crafted with homemade cream cheese. In Italy and Peru, cheesecake is often made with ricotta cheese.
A springform pan submerged in a water bath (to evenly distribute oven heat) produces a beautiful cake. Serve mango cheesecake with a garnish of fresh raspberries or mango slices. Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Cheesecake:
- To prevent cheesecake from cracking: avoid overbeating the cream cheese filling, especially after adding eggs.
- After about an hour of baking, when the cheesecake's center is only slightly jiggly, turn off the oven and leave the door closed until cheesecake has cooled to room temperature.
- Refrigerate cooled cheesecake overnight.
- Since mangoes vary in sweetness, adjust sugar to taste.
- For lower fat cheesecake: Substitute Neufchatel for cream cheese.
- Substitute 1/3 cup sour cream and 1/3 cup milk for the yogurt or Kefir.
- For gluten-free cheesecake: use gluten-free vanilla cookies crumbs for crust. Substitute superfine sweet white rice flour for the unbleached flour.
- Cheesecake freezes well. Be sure to wrap it well in foil and plastic wrap or a large freezer bag.
- Drizzle Exotic Wild Berry Sauce over cheesecake to switch things up.
Mango Cheesecake
Crumb Crust
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, finely ground
- 2/3 cup salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Blend cracker crumbs and butter until well combined.
- Press buttered crumbs onto bottom and sides of 9 inch springform pan.
- Refrigerate crust while making cheesecake batter.
Ingredients for Cheesecake
- 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 2/3 cup Kefir or yogurt, vanilla or plain
- 1 1/4 cup white sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Key lime juice, fresh
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unbleached flour
- 1 cup mango puree (see recipe below)
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed until combined.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Add flour and beat until just combined.
- With a spatula, scrape the batter into springform mold with chilled crumb crust.
- Combine 1 cup of mango puree and one egg yolk.
- Spread mango puree over cheesecake. Using a spatula, swirl puree into the cheesecake batter.
- Nestle springform pan inside a larger, rimmed baking dish. Slide into preheated oven. Pour water into large baking dish until halfway up the springform pan.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until middle of cheesecake jiggles just slightly when shaken. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside until it cools to room temperature.
- Chill cheesecake in refrigerator at least 6 hours or overnight.
- To serve: Slide a knife between cheesecake and springform pan. Remove sides of pan and transfer cake to a platter. Cut into 12 wedges and garnish with reserved mango puree and mango slices or fresh raspberries.
Mango Puree
Due to the variability of natural ingredients, start with less sugar and add more if necessary. This recipe yields about 2 1/2 cups of mango puree.
Ingredients
- 3 cups mango cubes, fresh or frozen
- 1 Tablespoon Key lime juice, fresh
- 1/2-1 cup white sugar, or to taste
Instructions
- Place mango cubes, half of sugar and lemon juice in a blender container.
- Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sugar.

I'm glad your wife approves of this recipe! I learned to make mango cheesecake because we always have a surplus of inexpensive mangoes. This is our favorite cheesecake. Enjoy!

Ktrapp, I'm so glad you appreciate Key limes! They're abundant here in Peru and we use them in everything. They complement the sweetness of mangoes so well. I hope you have a chance to try it someday! Thanks for coming by.
Oh, yum - what an enticing idea!! Be still my soul!
Yummy, you have the most tempting recipes! This is so mouthwatering. The tangy sweet sounds fantastic. I have to make it but I know it won't compare to yours no matter what I do. Thank you so much!
Honestly, I feel like I gain a little weight each time I even look at your dessert photographs. This cheesecake looks amazing and since key lime pie is my absolute favorite non-chocolate dessert, I can imagine how good this cheesecake must taste with keylime juice as one of the ingredients.

Mango flavors combined with cheesecake. Sounds like a great combination! Will keep this in mind the next time we have company over to help us out on eating it. An entire cheesecake just for my husband and me would be too much of a good thing! :)) Thanks for giving us your recipe.
