on Jun 08, 2020, Updated Aug 15, 2020 Cheesecakes are one of our favourite desserts! And I love them because they can be such a blank slate for flavours. I love making mine in a mini form because they are so easy to put together (and also great for portion control haha)! That is, if you can stop at one!
How to Make Cheesecake
Step 01 – Make the biscuit base: You can make the base of this cheesecake in two ways – using a food processor like I did, or the old fashioned way of smashing the cookies after placing them in a ziplock bag. We then add butter to help hold this biscuit base together. Step 02 – Let the base set: Place the base you just in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes so that its properly set. This will prevent the mango mixture to mix with the biscuit crumbs. Step 03 – Make the cream cheese mango mixture: For the cheesecake mixture, I just like to add everything to a blender and blend it for 3-4 minutes. This allows everything to mix well and gives time for the cream to increase slightly in volume. Step 04 – Pour and refrigerate: It’s finally time to assemble all the ingredients. Since we are making the cheesecake mixture in a blender, you can directly start pouring them into the moulds. Stick your tray into the refrigerator and relax!! Your cheesecakes will be ready in about 8 hours (or overnight). Also Read: How to cut mangoes
Alternative to Cream Cheese
The best alternative to cream cheese is curd or yogurt that’s been hung for 24 hours to get rid of any whey. In 24 hours, you will get yogurt that’s thick, creamy and the consistency of cream cheese. If you are using this, I recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon salt to the mixture to get the same saltiness of cream cheese which is important to balance the flavours in these mini mango cheesecakes.
Gelatin vs Agar Agar
I’ve always made cheesecake with gelatin, but if you prefer a vegetarian alternative, you can use agar agar in the same quantity. They can swapped for each other with the same results. It’s really as easy as that! I’ve tested this recipe a few times now and these cheesecakes disappeared so fast, I had to fight for one!
