Crush the biscuits and mix with the melted butter
Press the biscuit mixture into a cake tin to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Filling:
- In a blender, combine the melted butter, silken tofu, maple syrup, soaked cashews, vanilla extract, and blended mangoes. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the cake tin. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Mango Jelly:
- In a small saucepan, combine the pureed mango, agar agar, water, and lemon juice.
- Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously until the agar agar dissolves completely.
- Allow the mango jelly mixture to cool slightly before carefully pouring it over the set cheesecake filling.
- Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator to allow the mango jelly layer to set for another 1-2 hours.
Serving:
- Once the mango jelly layer has set, remove the cheesecake from the tin and place it on a serving plate.
- Slice the cheesecake into portions and serve chilled.
- Optionally, garnish with coconut cream, fresh mango slices or coconut flakes before serving.
Storage
- Refrigeration: After making the cheesecake and enjoying a slice or two, cover the remaining portion or the whole cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Place it in the refrigerator to keep it chilled and fresh.
- Air-Tight Container: If you prefer, you can transfer the cheesecake to an airtight container instead of using plastic wrap. Make sure the container has a secure lid to prevent any odors from the fridge from affecting the taste of the cheesecake.
- Shelf Life: The vegan mango cheesecake can typically be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, maintaining its flavor and texture quite well during this time.
- Freezing: If you want to store the cheesecake for a longer period, it can also be frozen. Wrap individual slices or the whole cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil before freezing. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
