Ingredients

Crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup melted butter
• Pinch of salt

Key Lime Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ⅓ cup fresh key lime juice (about 5-6 limes)
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Mango Swirl:

• 1 cup fresh mango puree
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Topping (optional):

• Whipped cream
• Fresh mango slices
• Lime zest

Instructions for Mango Key Lime Cheesecake

1. Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
2. Whip up the key lime filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in key lime juice, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Mango magic: In a small saucepan, whisk together mango puree, sugar, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Let cool slightly.
4. Swirl and bake: Pour the key lime filling into the cooled crust. Dollop spoonfuls of mango puree on top, then gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly.
5. Chill and thrill: Let the cheesecake cool completely on a wire rack, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
6. Top it off and serve: Before serving Mango Key Lime Cheesecake, whip up some fresh cream and garnish the cheesecake with dollops, slices of fresh mango, and a sprinkle of lime zest for an extra citrusy zing.

• If fresh key limes are unavailable, use bottled key lime juice, but be sure to choose a brand with no added sugar.
• Don’t overbake the cheesecake! It should still be slightly jiggly in the center when you take it out of the oven.
