Mango Cheesecake Filling combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the sweet, tangy flavor of ripe mangoes. This tropical twist offers a refreshing, indulgent treat with a velvety texture, perfect for tarts, cheesecakes, or cupcakes.

Ingredients

  1. 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and pureed
    16 oz cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1/4 cup powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    2 tablespoons gelatin powder
    1/4 cup water

Instructions

Prepare the mango puree: Peel and pit the mangoes, then blend the flesh in a food processor until smooth, yielding about 1 1/2 cups of mango puree. Optionally, strain to remove fibrous pieces.

  1. Dissolve the gelatin: In a small bowl, combine gelatin powder and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Heat in the microwave or double boiler for 10-15 seconds to dissolve and set aside to cool.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add mango puree, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, and beat until combined.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the mango-cream cheese mixture.
  4. Incorporate the gelatin: Fold the cooled gelatin into the mixture, ensuring it’s fully incorporated.
  5. Chill the filling: Pour the mango filling into your prepared crust or tart shell. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  6. Serve: Once set, garnish with powdered sugar, extra matcha powder, or fresh fruit before serving.

Notes

  1. If using frozen mango, thaw and drain excess water before pureeing.
  2. For a firmer filling, make sure the gelatin is properly dissolved and incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.
