Instructions
 

Preparing the Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.

Making the Cheesecake Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add in the granulated sugar, mixing until well incorporated.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the mango puree until evenly distributed.

Assembling and Baking the Cheesecake:

  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  • Smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water, creating a water bath.
  • Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the oven door slightly ajar.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Making the Mango Topping:

  • In a saucepan, combine mango puree, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth, then add it to the simmering mango mixture.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
  • Remove from heat and let the mango topping cool completely.

Serving the Cheesecake:

  • Once the cheesecake is chilled and the mango topping is cooled, spread the mango topping over the top of the cheesecake.
  • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
