Ingredients

• For the Sweet Ginger Crust:
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• For the Mango Cheesecake Filling:
• 3 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup mango puree
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• For the Mango Glaze:
• 1 cup mango puree
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• For Garnish:
• Fresh mango slices
• Whipped cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and ground ginger for the crust. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mango puree and flour until fully incorporated.
4. Pour the mango cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. To prepare the mango glaze, combine the mango puree, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
7. Once the cheesecake has chilled, carefully remove it from the springform pan. Drizzle the mango glaze over the top of the cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
8. Garnish with fresh mango slices and dollops of whipped cream.
9. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
