Ingredients
Method
Make the Crust
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until fully integrated. Press this mixture into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even layer. Pop it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Cream Cheese Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until it’s smooth and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract, mixing until well-combined.
Whip It Good
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined. Finally, fold in the mango puree.
Assemble the Pie
- Spoon the mango cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, evening it out with a spatula. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long.
Prepare the Passion Fruit Drizzle
- In a small saucepan, combine passion fruit pulp and sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves and it’s slightly thickened (about 3-5 minutes). Let it cool completely.
Serve it Up
- Once the cheesecake has set, pour the passion fruit drizzle over the top and slice into delightful pieces. Enjoy every sweet, tropical bite!
Notes
Substitute with ease using other fruit purees like peach or pineapple. If the filling looks lumpy, it's just extra texture. Adding lime zest to the mango puree gives a lovely tangy twist.
