Whether there is a mango season in your neck of the woods or not, this cake will satisfy your taste buds anytime. Celebrate the mango or mango season by making and relishing this Mango Ginger Cheese Cake. The word mango makes me weak at knees as I have a penchant for mango, after all, I am Indian. Indians and their fondness of mango go hand in hand. There is no denying that natures best creation, mango should be enjoyed on its own for the real taste and flavours, also to obtain the maximum amount of nutrition. In my family, most of the time, sweet and juicy mangoes are devoured fresh, however, since I have joined this blogging world, seeing all these beautiful and tempting creations of mango recipes I too wanted to jump in that bandwagon and here I am with my recipe of No Bake Mango Ginger Cheese Cake!
MANGO GINGER CHEESECAKE
We Gujaratis are very fond of Mangoes, but rather we enjoy it fresh pulp aka Keri No Ras and this dish has an inclusion of dry ginger powder. There are several benefits of adding dry ginger in the fresh Mango Pulp and having it. This No bake mango ginger cheesecake is assembled in three layers. A base prepared with digestive and ginger cookies, a middle layer, a cheese layer that is made with cheese, cream, mango pulp and candied ginger. A cheese layer gets its golden colour and tropical flavours from stirring a mango pulp/puree in the cream cheese mixture and the third layer is the mango glaze layer which prepared with mango puree and agar agar powder.
