Mango Cheesecake for birthday celebration

Mangoes are the hot favorites now and from so long I was thinking of making this mango cheesecake and this occasion was right and special to me, as my little one loves mangoes and it was her birthday. This is a cake which can be made easily and is so creamy and melts in mouth.

The smooth, silky and texture of the cheesecake will be loved by all. In this recipe, instead of gelatin we can also use agar agar / China grass. In this hot weather, this chilled cheesecake is so refreshing to have.

You can make this two days prior to the day you want to serve the cake. It should set well. I made this on the previous day of my little one’s birthday and had to cut the cake without completely setting. Though it turned out to be amazing on the second day.
