Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup mango puree (fresh or from canned mangoes)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped cream (for topping)

Fresh mango slices (for garnish)

Shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

    Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 3 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

      Add Flavors: Mix in the mango puree, lime juice, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

        Fill the Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

          Bake the Cheesecake: Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.

            Cool and Chill: Once done baking, turn off the oven and crack the oven door. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour. Afterward, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

              Prepare to Serve: Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cheesecake, and garnish with fresh mango slices and a sprinkle of shredded coconut if desired.

                  Presentation Tips: Serve each slice on a decorative plate, garnished with a sprig of mint for a pop of color and an additional mango slice to accentuate the tropical theme.
