Ingredients:
- 7 oz (200 g) fresh mango, peeled
- 6 oz (170 g) digestive biscuits
- 4.2 oz (120 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup (80 g) milk + 2 extra tablespoons
- 8.8 oz (250 g) cold whipped cream
- 2 sweetened lemon yogurts
- 10.5 oz (300 g) cream cheese (like Philadelphia)
- 1/3 cup (100 g) lemon juice
- 11 sheets gelatine (8 + 3)
- 3/4 cup (180 g) sugar (150 g + 30 g)
Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
- Crush the cookies: In a food processor, pulse the digestive biscuits until finely crushed. If using a Thermomix, use the turbo function for a few seconds until you achieve a fine texture.
- Combine: Add the melted butter and milk. Mix for 10 seconds on speed 2-3-5 in the Thermomix or until a compact dough forms.
- Press into pan: Line the bottom of a 9-inch (24 cm) springform pan with the mixture. Press down firmly and smooth the surface with a spoon.
- Chill: Place the crust in the fridge to firm up while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- Mix creamy ingredients: Without washing the Thermomix bowl, insert the butterfly whisk and add the whipped cream, yogurt, and cream cheese. Mix for 1 minute on speed 3.5 until smooth.
- Soak gelatine: Soak 8 sheets of gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes.
- Heat milk: Remove the butterfly whisk, add the milk and 150 g of sugar. Heat for 3 minutes at 190°F (90°C) on speed 2 in the Thermomix, or use a saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Add gelatine: Stir in the drained gelatine into the warm milk. Mix for 10 seconds on speed 3.
- Combine mixtures: Let it cool for a few minutes before mixing the gelatine mixture with the cream cheese base. Pour the filling over the crust and chill for at least 3 hours.
3. Make the Topping:
- Soak remaining gelatine: Soak the remaining 3 sheets of gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes.
- Cook lemon juice: In the Thermomix or saucepan, heat 1/3 cup (80 g) of lemon juice with 30 g of sugar for 3 minutes at 190°F (90°C) on speed 1.
- Add gelatine: Stir in the drained gelatine and mix for 10 seconds on speed 3.
- Blend mango: Add the mango pieces and blend for 30 seconds on progressive speed 5-8-10, or use a blender until smooth.
- Top the cheesecake: Pour the mango mixture over the cooled cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 2 more hours, or overnight for best results.
Tips for a Perfect Cheesecake:
- Choose a ripe mango. The sweeter and more fragrant the mango, the better your topping will taste.
- Use quality cream cheese. The creaminess of your cheesecake heavily relies on this ingredient.
- Ensure gelatine is well-hydrated before adding it to any hot mixtures. This will ensure an even and firm texture.
- Be patient with chilling. Though the wait may seem long, it’s crucial for the flavors to settle and for the cheesecake to achieve the perfect texture.
- Decorate with fresh mango slices or lemon zest before serving for an elegant touch!
Enjoy this delightful Lemon Mango Cheesecake that’s sure to impress your family and friends!
