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 love mango, cheese and cake.. With this hub, I will be able to bring them all together into one. Thanks for sharing this information. It is indeed very useful.. Up for this one.
My man would love this! We have so many mangos right now and I'm trying to find things to do with them all - this would be perfect!

This looks spectacular! I love cheesecake, as well as mangos, and even the graham cracker crust sounds delicious. I want to try this sometime, and maybe even serve it at a special family gathering. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I'm giving this recipe an AWESOME because the moment my wife hears about it she is going to bug me to make it for her and any recipe that can do that, is pretty good.
I love cheesecake and I love mango, so this is sure to be a winner. It is unusual. I have never heard of mango cheesecake. Thanks!

This is making me feel hungry. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
My mouth is watering. The photos look good enough to eat! I have a spring form pan we got as a wedding gift 15 years ago but I have never once tried to make cheesecake. Maybe I need to change that!
I love mango! But I've never had with cheescake. That looks awesome.

Stop e if you can to try this recipe :-)
I love mangoes! What a great idea to include them in cheesecake. Your photos left my mouth watering.
This looks so good I have to pin it. I love mango. Voted up and more.
Voted up, useful and awesome! You have me drooling! The cheesecake looks divine and I'm sure it was yummy! I haven't made a cheesecake in years. Maybe it's time to dust off the springform pan and give it a go! I love your tip about submerging the pan in a water bath. Great recipe for a wonderful mango treat! :)
wow! a perfect cheesecake!
It looks delicious and am sure would taste awesome as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Voted up, awesome and gave a 5 star rating.
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.
Cheese cake, love it
Mango, love it,
Cream cheese, adore it: Thanks for another great recipe and great photos to make you just want to take a great bite out of it. Pinned to try

Hi vespa,
Looks and sounds delicious! LOVE cheesecake and normally do the non bake variety but will definitely try this one! Votes, shared and pinned for future use! What a lovely summer desert this is going to be!!
Love mangos - cannot wait to try this.. ...
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.
Looks like Heaven. :)
Okay, I have a confession to make. I have never eaten a mango. Soooo...I do love cheesecake, and I'd be willing to try this since you recommend it.
Have a great weekend my friend.
Oh my that looks delicious! I like how you added in the gluten free options, it will come in handy when I make this some day!
