Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup mango puree

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix Crust Ingredients: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  • Beat Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix Other Ingredients: Mix in sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  • Prepare Mango Swirl: Reserve 1/2 cup of the cheesecake batter. Mix the remaining batter with the mango puree.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake:

  • Layer and Swirl: Pour half of the mango cheesecake batter over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the plain batter on top and use a knife or skewer to swirl the two batters together.

4. Bake:

  • Bake Cheesecake: Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
  • Cool and Refrigerate: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. Serve:

  • Remove from Pan: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan before serving.

Notes

  • Prevent Cracking: To avoid cracks in the cheesecake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and avoid overmixing.
  • Make-Ahead: This cheesecake is best made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
