No Bake Mango Cheesecake Recipe (without gelatin and eggless)

This creamy cheesecake is filled with mango and have the best digestive biscuit base crust. It is rich, indulgent and very delicious – not to mention, easy to make and the perfect summer no bake dessert recipe.

It is no secret that Mango Dxb have some of the best and most delicious mangoes in UAE. I have tried a variety of their mangoes last season and I am kickstarting this season a little late but with a show stopper dessert using their alphonso mangoes. DISCLAIMER: I have always hated mango cheesecake, either the flavor has been forced with essence or there is no real mango in the cheesecake or the texture is more like a jelly than a creamy cheesecake. So in my defense the cheesecakes I have eaten which were mango based had no proper substance.

What is a no bake cheesecake? What sets a no bake cheesecake?

A no bake cheesecake is exactly what is sounds like. A cheesecake that is not baked but still has a biscuit crumb base, a cream cheese filling and some flavoring. It is most often than not set for a few hours before slicing and serving. The setting agents in a no bake cheesecake are usually eggs, gelatin, cornstarch, agar agar or even melted chocolate.

What’s the difference between cheesecake and no bake cheesecake?

A cheesecake is a dessert consisting of a biscuit crumb base, cream cheese filling and some flavoring. To make a baked cheesecake it is baked in a water bath in the oven low and slow to create the most dense and light New York style cheesecake, to make a burnt Basque cheesecake the cheesecake is baked in the oven at a hight temperature to create that blistered and burnt top. A no bake cheesecake is essentially a cheesecake that is no baked in the oven but set in the fridge over night or for a few hours before serving.

What ingredients do you need to make this no bake mango cheesecake?

There are a few components to this cake, for the biscuit base we need digestive biscuits, melted butter and salt. You can use any biscuits you prefer.
For the cheesecake filling we need cream cheese, condensed milk, white chocolate, whipping cream, mango puree and chunks, pinch of salt and vanilla. The white chocolate is non negotiable as it is the setting agent in this cake.
For the mango curd we need mango puree, whipping cream and corn starch.
For the whipped cream we use whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla.

What equipment is needed to make this no bake mango cheesecake?

To make the biscuit base I used a food processor to blitz the biscuits with the melted butter, you could use a rolling pin and a mixing bowl to bring it together. To make the cheesecake filling we need an electric beater to whip up the ingredients and same for the whipped cream. You could do this with a whisk and a bowl but it would take alot of elbow grease and time to get it to stiff peaks. To make the mango curd we need a sauce pot, whisk and rubber spatula. I have assembled and set the cheesecake in a 9 inch round spring form tin, the beauty about this tin is the side release easily. You could use a regular cake tin even a 10 inch round works but line it generously with cling wrap and then layer the cheesecake in it so once it is set you can easily remove it from the tin.

How to make this no bake mango cheesecake?

BASE – Stir the ingredients together until well combined. Should resemble damp sand.
MANGO CURD – Cook all the ingredients over the stove on low heat, whisk and cook until thick, around 3-5 minutes. Let it cool.

It can come up the sides too, chill in the fridge Transfer the filling to the lined tin and spread it evenly. Top it with whipped cream and pipe as you like. Finish with the mango curd. allow this to set in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours to overnight before slicing and serving.

The best way to serve this cheesecake is with whipped cream and more mango curd. It is so delicious and very special. Trust me when i say a little sea salt flake sprinkle on top makes it perfect. You an serve it with a cup of hot tea. Ideally it is a dessert but nothing should stop you from serving it at brunch. Perfect for birthdays or any celebration as well.

Make ahead options and storing the leftovers of this no bake mango cheesecake?

This dessert takes 8-12 hours to set in the fridge. Hence I would suggest making it the night before, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge. The next morning it is ready for decoration and serving. It is such simple treat but honestly the make ahead option really brings this dessert together and is very delicious. It is creamy, rich and so simple to make. The cheesecake NEEDS to chill and set completely before serving so do not rush this process. The leftovers can be stored in air tight containers in the fridge for 2-3 days. I wouldn’t suggest freezing the cake as the cream cheese and whipping cream won’t be the same once defrosted.
