Ingredients
For the crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits) – adds a buttery crunch
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted – binds the crust together
1 tbsp sugar – optional, for extra sweetness
For the cheesecake layer:
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened – the creamy base
½ cup powdered sugar – keeps the filling silky smooth
1 tsp vanilla extract – enhances flavor depth
½ cup heavy cream, whipped – makes the filling light and airy
For the mango layer:
1 cup fresh mango puree – use ripe, sweet mangoes for best flavor
1 tbsp sugar – optional, depending on mango sweetness
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water – thickens the puree slightly
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Spoon into serving cups and press down lightly to form the base. Chill while making the filling.
Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream until light and fluffy.
Prepare the mango layer: In a small saucepan, heat mango puree with sugar (if needed). Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Cool completely.
Assemble the cups: Spoon cheesecake filling over the crust, followed by the cooled mango layer.
Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for the flavors to set.
Notes
For a stronger mango flavor, add diced mango chunks between the cheesecake and puree layers.
Can be made up to 24 hours in advance — just cover tightly in the fridge.
Use canned mango puree if fresh mangoes aren’t in season.
