Ingredients

For the Biscuit Base:

  • 85 grams of digestive biscuits, crumbed
  • Melted butter (quantity not specified in the summary)

For the Mango Curd:

  • 1 cup of frozen mango cubes
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup of caster sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 40 grams of butter

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • Room temperature cream cheese (quantity not specified in the summary)
  • Sugar (quantity not specified in the summary)

For Garnishing:

  • Passion fruit pulp

Preparation Steps

  1. Biscuit Base: Combine the digestive biscuit crumbs with melted butter to achieve a wet sand consistency. Divide this mixture among individual serving glasses, pressing down firmly to form a compact base. Chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes.

  2. Mango Curd: Blend frozen mango cubes, lemon juice, caster sugar, a pinch of salt, and egg yolks until it resembles a smoothie. Transfer to a glass bowl set over simmering water (bain-marie) and incorporate the butter, whisking until smooth and thick. Chill completely in the fridge.

  3. Cream Cheese Filling: Blend room temperature cream cheese with sugar in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag for easy assembly.

  4. Assembly: Spoon a generous layer of mango curd over the biscuit base in each glass. Pipe the cream cheese filling on top of the mango curd, filling up to the top of the glass.

  5. Garnishing: Finish each cheesecake with a dollop of passion fruit pulp for a tart contrast to the sweetness of the mango and cream cheese.

  6. Serving: While these cheesecakes can be served after chilling for an hour, they are tempting enough to enjoy immediately if you can't wait!
