Instructions
Prepare the Pan: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Preheat oven to 150°C / 300°F.
Make the Crust: Mix crushed biscuits and melted butter until evenly combined. Spoon 1 to 1½ tbsp of crust mixture into each muffin liner. Press firmly to form a base. No need to pre-bake.
150 g Crushed digestive or graham crackers , 60 g Unsalted butter
Make the Mango Puree: Blend mango, sugar, and lemon juice in a small blender until smooth. Set aside.
120 g Ripe mango , 1 - 2 tb sp Granulated sugar, 1 tsp Lemon juice
Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a bowl of a stand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat again. Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, lemon juice, vanilla, and zest (if using). Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated — don’t overbeat. Add cornstarch and mix gently to combine.
750 g Full-fat cream cheese, 200 g Granulated sugar , 240 g Sour cream , 120 ml Heavy cream , 4 large Eggs, 32 g Cornstarch , 1 tbsp Lemon juice , 1 tsp Vanilla extract, 1 tsp Lemon zest
Fill and Swirl: Divide cheesecake batter between the muffin liners — they’ll be nearly full. Add 1 teaspoon of mango puree on top of each and swirl gently with a toothpick.
Bake: Place muffin pan directly in the oven (no water bath). Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and centers are slightly jiggly. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Make the Mascarpone Cream: Whip cream until soft peaks form. Add mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer to piping bag fitted with a star tip.
120 ml Heavy cream, 125 g Mascarpone cheese, 2 tbsp Powdered sugar , ½ tsp Vanilla extract
Decorate: Pipe a ring of mascarpone cream around the top of each mini cheesecake. Spoon a little mango puree in the center and garnish with fresh mint or a tiny cube of mango.
