INGREDIENTS

Base

125 g (4 ⅖ oz) cookies
15 g (1 tablespoon) butter unsalted and softened

Cheesecake Filling

15 g (½ oz) gelatine powder
60 ml (2 floz) water hot
250 g (1 cups) cream cheese
110 g (½ cups) superfine sugar caster sugar
250 g (1 cups) heavy cream
5 ml (1 teaspoon) vanilla
180 g (1 cups) mango diced

Garnishes

240 g (1 ½ cups) mango diced
15 g (½ oz) pistachio

INSTRUCTIONS

Base:

Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a stick blender or food processor.
Mix in the softened butter until the mixture is well combined.
Divide the crumb mix evenly among 12 mini dessert cups, pressing lightly to form a base.

Filling

Dissolve gelatine powder in hot water and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine cream cheese, caster sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, diced mango, and the gelatine mixture until smooth.

Assembly

Pour the cheesecake filling over the biscuit base in each cup.
Refrigerate the dessert cups for at least 30 minutes or until set.
Before serving, top with additional diced mango.
Pulse pistachios in a blender until coarsely ground and sprinkle over each dessert cup as garnish.

NOTES

For a smoother filling, ensure that the cream cheese is at room temperature before blending.

If you prefer a firmer texture, let the dessert cups chill for longer, ideally 2-3 hours.

To enhance the mango flavor, you can mix some mango puree into the filling.

The pistachios can be replaced with any nut of your choice for a different texture or taste.

These dessert cups can be made a day ahead, making them a perfect option for entertaining.

Experiment with layering by adding some diced mango in the middle of the cheesecake filling for an extra burst of mango in every bite.
