Scale

  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 cup (240ml) ripe mango puree
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) gelatin powder
  • ½ cup (120ml) passionfruit pulp
  • 3 tablespoons (38g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon (3g) gelatin powder for glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until coated. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and chill for about 10 minutes.
  2. Bloom 1 tablespoon gelatin powder in ¼ cup cold water for 5 minutes.
  3. Make mango puree by blending fresh or canned mango until smooth, measuring 1 cup.
  4. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and beat until incorporated.
  5. Warm the bloomed gelatin gently until dissolved, then stir in fresh lemon juice.
  6. Mix the dissolved gelatin into the mango puree thoroughly.
  7. Fold the mango and gelatin mixture gently into the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Whip the chilled heavy cream to soft peaks.
  9. Fold the whipped cream carefully into the mango cream cheese mixture.
  10. Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smooth the top, cover loosely, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. Make the passionfruit glaze by heating passionfruit pulp, sugar, and water until sugar dissolves. Bloom 1 teaspoon gelatin in 1 tablespoon cold water for 5 minutes, then stir into the warm passionfruit mixture until dissolved. Let cool slightly.
  12. Pour the passionfruit glaze evenly over the set cheesecake and refrigerate for another hour to firm the glaze.
  13. Release the cheesecake from the pan, slice with a warm knife, wiping between slices, and serve chilled.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Bloom gelatin properly to prevent lumps and ensure smooth setting. Puree mango thoroughly for best texture. Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid turning it into butter. Chill cheesecake overnight for best texture and flavor. Use a warm knife for clean slicing. Agar-agar can substitute gelatin for vegetarian option but adjust quantities.
