No-Bake Mango Cheesecake
No-Bake Mango Cheesecake is as the name suggests - a cheesecake in mango flavor which is not baked but set in refrigerator. The base is crushed digestive biscuits or you can use any other cookies or biscuits of your choice. Agar-agar is used to set it.
Servings: 6 cheesecakes
Ingredients
for crust
- 80 gram digestive biscuits crushed
- 50 gram unsalted butter chilled & cubed
for filling
- 80 gram sugar powdered
- 400 gram greek yogurt hang 800 gram homemade curd to make 400 gram hung curd
- 200 gram cottage cheese homemade paneer
- ¾ cup water
- 5 gram china grass
- 1 mango peeled, chopped & pureed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
for sauce - mango sauce
Instructions
for the crust
- Place biscuits in a zip lock & crush using a rolling pin into powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, place butter & crushed biscuits. Using your hands rub in butter & biscuits together until well mixed.
- Place the mixture in a 6 inch loose bottom pan or springform pan. Press tightly to form a crust. Set in freezer for ½ hour.
for the filling
- Meanwhile, soak china grass in ¾ cup water for 10 mins until it becomes soft.
- In a processor run hung curd & paneer until smooth & creamy. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
- In a heavy bottom sauce pan, heat mango puree over medium flame. Do not allow this to boil.
- In a separate sauce pan, place china grass & water mixture until it melts completely, about 5-6 mins. Do not allow this to boil.
- Once china grass melts completely, pour hot china grass solution into hot mango puree, stirring all the while.
- Slowly add the mango-china grass mixture to curd-paneer mixture.
- Stir in the sugar & vanilla extract and beat with a wire whisk until well blended.
- Pour this mixture over the prepared crust & allow to set in refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
assembling the cheesecake
- The sauce should be at room temperature. This was important for me as I was using preserved sauce from earlier recipe.
- Spread the sauce over the set cheesecake.
- Chill overnight in refrigerator for good setting or you can set in freezer for 2-3 hours.
- When set, slice & serve chilled.
