This baked mango cheesecake is rich, creamy, and packed with fresh mango flavor in every bite. Made with cream cheese, sour cream, mango puree, and a buttery Biscoff cookie crust, this cheesecake bakes into a smooth velvety dessert that feels light yet indulgent. Finished with whipped cream and fresh mango on top, it’s the perfect summer cheesecake for mango lovers.
Mango desserts are always popular at our home, especially during summer when mangoes are sweet, juicy, and everywhere in the markets. I originally made this as a classic baked cheesecake, but after testing it a few times, I realized mango works beautifully in a softer creamier baked cheesecake. The fresh mango flavor really shines through, and the smooth texture pairs perfectly with the buttery Biscoff crust and fresh mango topping.

Step-by-step: Baked Mango Cheesecake
Oven and pan
Preheat the oven to 150°C / 300°F.
Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Wrap the outside of the pan with two layers of heavy-duty foil to prevent water from leaking in during baking.
Place the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan for the water bath.
Make the cookie crust
Crush the graham or Biscoff cookies in a food processor into fine crumbs, then combine with melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand.
Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to compact it well.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Make the cheesecake filling
In the same food processor, beat the cream cheese and sugar, sour cream, heavy cream, mango puree, vanilla, and salt. Combine until smooth and creamy. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust.
Bake in water bath
Place the roasting pan in the oven and carefully pour hot water into the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set and the center still has a slight wobble. Turn the oven off, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
Remove from the water bath and cool completely before chilling overnight.
Frost and decorate
Whip the heavy cream with a little powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake, then top with fresh diced mango.
Keep chilled until ready to slice and serve.
Tips for Success
- Use ripe sweet mangoes for the best flavor and color.
- Do not overmix the cheesecake batter once the cream is added.
- The cheesecake should still wobble slightly in the center when removed from the oven.
- Chill overnight for the cleanest slices.

Hi, I’m Veena

I share the practical tips and little details I’ve learned along the way so you can get great results in your own kitchen.
Hey Veena, do you still have the older recipe? This is great but I love the older one as well and cannot remember all the quantities and ingredients
Duncan the older recipe was my classic Baked vanilla cheesecake with mango filling on top.
You can bake the classic and top it with my mango filling. Double the mango filling I used for my Baked mini mango cheesecakes.
Once baked you can top the vanilla cheesecake with the mango filling on top. Thanks
Followed the recipe to the tee, loved it! Cheesecake was moist, light (not dense), not too sweet, not cracked, and flavorful. Definitely, my go-to cheesecake recipe from now on!
Thank you so much Elaine for the lovely feedback.
