- Prepare the Base:
- Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix in the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan using the back of a spoon. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it blooms.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
- Mix in the mango puree until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10-15 seconds until melted, then quickly stir it into the mango mixture.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour the mango cheesecake filling over the prepared biscuit base in the springform pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake sets.
- Prepare the Mango Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine diced mango, water, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Simmer over medium heat until the mango pieces are soft and the mixture thickens slightly.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10-15 seconds until melted, then stir it into the mango mixture until smooth.
- Allow the mango glaze to cool slightly.
- Finish the Cheesecake:
- Once the cheesecake has set, carefully pour the mango glaze over the top, spreading it evenly with a spoon or spatula.
- Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for another 1-2 hours until the glaze is set.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake.
