- 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

- 1/2 cup mango puree
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
