Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pounds (900g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
- Zest of 1 lime (optional, for added flavor)
- For the Mango Glaze (optional):
- 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (165ยฐC). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Fold in the mango puree and lime zest until evenly incorporated.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Place the springform pan on a large baking sheet and place in the oven.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The edges should be lightly browned.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
- In a small saucepan, combine the mango puree, water, cornstarch, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour the mango glaze over the chilled cheesecake before serving, spreading evenly with a spatula if desired.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and avoid overmixing after adding the eggs.
