No Bake Mango Cheesecake (Video)

Luxuriously smooth and a breeze to make, this no bake mango cheesecake takes you straight from your kitchen to a tropical paradise. Creamy and refreshing, it’s the perfect spring and summer treat.

(Love no-bake cheesecakes? Try this light and bright no bake lemon cheesecake!)

And just like that, it’s the first of May (what I also like to call almost-June)!

The grass is green, flowers are blooming, the days are getting longer and warmer. And the best is yet to come! (Unless you hate summer. But why?)

Another reason to love the season? Mangoes.

They are not native to Canada but according to my friend, Google, over 70 percent of the total mango volume shipped to North America happens between April and July so we’ve been eating our fair share.

And this no bake mango cheesecake is a delightful tribute to the fruit! A light, creamy, refreshing cheesecake where the mango shines.

Carabao mangoes

To be honest though, I’m kind of a mango snob.

Philippine mangoes (the carabao mango variety) are apparently in the Guinness Book of World Records as the sweetest in the world (and I am quoting my friend Google again here).

While I don’t know if it’s true, I can tell you for sure they are the best I’ve ever tasted.

Thai mangoes are great. And even the ones we get here. But nothing compares to Philippine mangoes (and I’m not just saying that because I’m biased!).

Mango puree

So it took me a while to make anything mango-ish. Until I saw this mango puree made of 100% Philippine mangoes (no preservatives added!) in the Asian grocery store – mango frenzy followed.

You can use any kind of mango for this recipe though. Just take the flesh out and puree it in a blender.

For the creamiest texture, strain the puree through a mesh strainer to get those nasty fibres out.

And what you’ll have is this light, refreshing and very creamy no bake mango cheesecake. Did you watch the video? It’s the first video I’ve ever made!

It’s not the prettiest lol (I’m going to get better, I promise) but I hope it shows you how easy it is to put this cheesecake together.

This no bake mango cheesecake is a great treat for Mother’s Day too. So grab some mangoes and get whipping! This cheesecake is delightful.

Instructions

 

For the Crust:

Notes

1. If you’re using fresh mangoes for the puree, you would need 3-4 mangoes for 1 ½ cups. Just scoop the flesh out and blend until smooth. Additionally, you can choose to strain the puree through a mesh strainer to remove any fibre that might be left behind.
2. If using frozen chopped mangoes, make sure to thaw to room temperature before adding to cheesecake.
3. You’ll notice that I did not add any sugar to my mango puree. Depending on the sweetness (or tartness) of the mangoes you get, you may need to do so. Taste your mangoes before using.
