Method
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until combined and press into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then let cool completely.
Step 2: Make Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla, then add eggs one at a time. Mix in fresh mango puree and cornstarch until uniform.
Step 3: Bake Cheesecake
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Prepare a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger dish filled with hot water. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles. Cool inside the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
Step 4: Prepare Mango Glaze
- In a saucepan, heat mango puree, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Whisk in a cornstarch mixture to thicken the glaze. Bring to a gentle boil before removing from heat. Cool to room temperature.
Step 5: Assemble
- Once cooled, remove the cheesecake from the springform. Pour the glaze over the top, ensuring an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set.
Step 6: Serve
- Slice the cheesecake into pieces and garnish with fresh mango slices, whipped cream, or mint leaves. Serve chilled.

Notes
