Mango Cheesecake

The Story
Before my husband’s birthday, I asked him, what kind of cake he´d like me to bake for him. Spontaneously, he said - Mango cheesecake. So I sat down, started to think of a recipe and how to incorporate mango and its amazing taste into a baked cheesecake. The result was amazing, so I am happy to share my recipe with you all now.

Ingredients

  • 160 g plain wheat flour
  • 80 g almond meal
  • 160 g unsalted butter
  • 80 g powder sugar

Filling

  • 250 g curd
  • 300 g cream cheese
  • 1 whole ripe mango
  • 1 whole egg
  • 60 g sugar
  • 40 g maize starch
  • 1 tbs lemon zest

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients for the dough, knead a compact dough, warp it in plastic foil and refrigerate for about one hour.
  • For the will, process the ripe mango flesh and push it through a sieve to get rid of the hard fibers. Mix it then with the rest of the ingredients for the filling and set aside.
  • Roll the chilled dough into a circle, a bit bigger than the diameter of your cake form. Using your palms, push the dough to the bottom and on the sides of the cake form (diameter 20 cm).
  • Pour the mango filling into the dough in the form and bake in preheated oven on 160 degrees Celsius for about 50 minutes.
  • Let the baked cheesecake cool, set and then serve it with fresh fruit.
