No bake mango cheesecake

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Mix Crust Ingredients: Combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press into Pan: Pour the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Prepare Gelatin: Dissolve 1 tablespoon of gelatin in 1/4 cup of warm water and set aside to bloom.
2. Whip Cream Cheese: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
3. Incorporate Mango and Cream: Add mango puree and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
4. Combine Gelatin and Mixtures: Gently heat the bloomed gelatin until it turns to liquid, then cool slightly. Slowly pour the gelatin into the cream cheese mixture while mixing. Gently fold in the whipped cream until everything is well combined.
5. Fill the Crust: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight.

Step 3: Add the Mango Topping

1. Prepare Gelatin for Topping: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of gelatin in 2 tablespoons of warm water and mix with 1/2 cup of mango puree.
2. Arrange Mango Slices: Neatly arrange the thinly sliced mango on top of the set cheesecake.
3. Glaze with Mango Puree: Gently pour the mango puree mixed with gelatin over the sliced mango for a glossy finish.
4. Chill to Set: Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for another hour to set the mango topping.

Step 4: Serve

1. Remove from Pan: Once set, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan.
2. Slice and Serve: Cut into slices and serve chilled.
