Instructions

1. Cook the mango purée with 1 tablespoon sugar over medium heat for about 15 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring often. Cool completely.

3. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt until evenly combined. Firmly press into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.

7. Spoon the remaining mango purée on top and swirl gently.

8. Bake for 30 to 32 minutes until the center is set but not wet.

Notes

Use sweet, smooth mangoes without fibers. Fresh or frozen mangoes both work well.

About 6 tablespoons of mango jam can replace homemade mango purée.

Digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or Biscoff cookies can replace graham crackers.

Flour or cornstarch helps create firmer bars that slice neatly. Omit for a softer texture.

Room temperature ingredients help create a smooth cheesecake filling without lumps.

Allow the cheesecake to cool uncovered to avoid condensation and soggy crusts.

Bake at a lower temperature to help prevent cracks without needing a water bath.

Store refrigerated before serving for cleaner slices and best texture.

Frozen bars should be wrapped tightly and thawed slowly in the refrigerator before serving.
