No Bake, No Egg - Mango Cheesecake

My kiddo loves "anything Mango", Yes! and these days, he is hooked to "Mango bite". We mothers are always on the look out to, find some healthy food recipes for our kids. I made this cheesecake to offer him a healthier substitute of "Mango bite" and the good part is "he liked it". It tasted yumm. I wanted a low sugar dessert and Mango, has its own sweetness, but the sugar ratio can be altered depending on one taste buds.I liked the contrast that mango creates with cream cheese.  Its a perfect after play snack for summers.

Ingredients -

Cream Cheese - 100 gms ( I used Philadelphia )
Fresh Mango pulp - from 2 large mangoes
Mango cubes - for garnish
Fresh Cream - 60 gms
Sugar - 1/2 cup
1/2 cup warm water
1 tbsp gellatone ( I used Solar brand, Its a veg version of gelatin)
Unsalted butter - 1/4 cup
Crushed marie Biscuits - 2 cups

Recipe -

  1. Crush biscuits finely and add melted butter to it. Make sure that the butter is incorporated in the mix nicely.
  2. You can use a spring-foam pan or make cheesecake in glasses for individual portions. Pour this mix in glass, press them to form an even base and refrigerate.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, cream and sugar until uniformly combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, take warm water and add gellatone to that. mix it untill gellatone is dissolved properly.
  5. Add this mixture to cream cheese mix and blend carefully, making sure no lumps are formed. add half of mango pulp to this and mix until a uniform mixture is formed.
  6. Pour this mixture in glasses and refrigerate again for 1-2 hrs.Once this layer is set, pour mango pulp in glasses to make a third layer. This needs to be done gently to make sure, these 2 layers dont mix.
  7. Refrigerate for 7-8 hrs
  8. Garnish with fresh mango before serving.
