The Flavors: Mango and Passionfruit

Mango and passionfruit are a dream duo. Mango brings a lush, juicy sweetness that balances beautifully with the bright, tangy passionfruit. Together, they create a refreshing, balanced dessert that’s not overly sweet and feels as light as a summer breeze.

Ingredients Breakdown

Here’s what you’ll need to make this heavenly dessert:

For the Crust:

• Digestive Biscuit Crumbs – Adds a slightly sweet, crumbly base that complements the creamy cheesecake.
• Unsalted Butter – Holds the crumbs together and adds a rich flavor.
• Sugar – Just a touch to enhance the sweetness.

For the Mango Cheesecake Filling:

• Cream Cheese – The foundation of the cheesecake, giving it a smooth and creamy texture.
• Granulated Sugar – Sweetens the filling without overpowering the fruit flavors.
• Mango Puree – The star ingredient that brings that signature tropical sweetness.
• Vanilla Extract – Adds a subtle depth to the filling.
• Whipped Heavy Cream – Lightens up the texture, making each bite airy and delightful.

For the Passionfruit Layer:

• Passionfruit Pulp – Fresh or canned, this ingredient provides a tart contrast to the mango.
• Sugar – Balances the tartness of the passionfruit.
• Cornstarch and Water – Thickens the passionfruit mixture for a lovely, pourable layer.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust Start by mixing the digestive biscuit crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until everything is well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create a sturdy crust. Let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to set while you prepare the other layers.
2. Make the Mango Cheesecake Filling In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, mango puree, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream, giving the filling a light, airy texture. Spread half of this mango mixture over the chilled crust and pop it back in the fridge to set.
3. Prepare the Passionfruit Layer Combine passionfruit pulp, sugar, and water in a saucepan, bringing it to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens. Allow this layer to cool slightly before pouring it over the first layer of mango cheesecake. This layer adds a beautiful contrast in both flavor and color.
4. Final Layer and Chill Spread the remaining mango cheesecake filling over the passionfruit layer. Refrigerate the entire cheesecake for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to ensure it’s fully set.
5. Serve and Enjoy Once set, your cheesecake is ready to be sliced and served chilled. Each layer reveals a beautiful spectrum of colors and flavors—a blend of creamy mango with a luscious passionfruit finish.

Tips for Success

• Fresh or Frozen Mango: If you don’t have fresh mangoes, frozen mango can work just as well for the puree.
• Don’t Skip the Chill Time: Letting the cheesecake set for a full 4 hours helps the flavors meld and the texture become perfectly sliceable.
