Baked Mango Cheesecake
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 I originally made this as a classic baked cheesecake, but after testing it a few times, I realized mango works beautifully in a softer creamier baked cheesecake.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.

Baked this cheesecake for the first time and it is just delicious. I added the 1 cup mango puree to the cream cheese filling, used all purpose flour instead of cornflour, added dessicated coconut to the base and baked it in a 10 inch cake tin. Thanks for all the pro tips and photos!
Thank you for the lovely feedback, Droppogri.
OMG this is soo good! I love how rich and creamy this is and there is no eggs which makes it even better.
Thank you so much Maria, so glad you enjoyed it
I want to make one of your mango cheesecake recipes but it calls for cornstarch cornflour. I can’t find this stuff. What do I use? I’d really like to make it cause it looks amazing
You can also use tapioca starch or potato starch instead of cornstarch. Thanks
Ty
Best cheesecake ever! I was looking for an eggless recipe and this was just perfect! Def making it again. Thanks
Thank you so much, Andrew, for the lovely feedback, so happy you enjoyed this cheesecake.
Hi, what can I use to replace the sour cream? or can I still bake without the sour cream? thank u
Sour cream works best for cheesecakes but Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream
Veena, wow, I made this over the weekend for my grandad’s birthday, and he absolutely loved it. He loves mangoes so it was the right dessert for him. Everybody could not stop raving about it. Thanks for this recipe.
Thank you so much, Althea so happy you enjoyed it so much, and Happy Birthday to your Grandad
Hi Veena!! This was the best cheesecake recipe I have tried. It was amazing and luxurious. Thank you.?
Thank you, Jenni. I am so happy to get your feedback
Hi Veena!! Love this cheesecake, but sour cream is expensive. What can be used instead of sour cream for next time?
Hey Amelia, Thank you, happy you enjoyed it. You can use yogurt instead of sour cream
Hi Veena!! I’ve been planning to make this mango cheesecake recipe next week. I just wanted to ask if I should cooke the pureed mangoes
No I did not cook the mango puree. It is ok to add them to the batter just like that. You can strain them if you want to remove the fibers.
I loved making this cheesecake and I love how easy it was to put everything in a food processor and blend. Def making it again. What percentage of sour cream do you use?
Hey Isha. Thanks, happy you enjoyed it. Yes, it is an easy method in the food processor. I use 27% fat sour cream, keep it rich.
Made this for my husband’s birthday party, and we loved it. Thanks, Veena, for another successful recipe – I like that your recipes have step by step pictures.
Hey Solvita. Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. So happy you enjoyed it
