04 - 680 g cream cheese, softened
05 - 200 g granulated sugar

07 - 5 ml vanilla extract
08 - 250 ml fresh mango puree
09 - 16 g cornstarch

10 - 250 ml mango puree
11 - 25 g granulated sugar
12 - 5 ml lemon juice
13 - 3 g cornstarch dissolved in 15 ml water

→ Optional Toppings

14 - Fresh mango slices
15 - Whipped cream
16 - Mint leaves

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C and grease a 23-cm springform pan.
02 - Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand.
03 - Press mixture into base of prepared pan to create an even layer. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Gradually blend in granulated sugar and vanilla extract until incorporated.
05 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Blend in mango puree and cornstarch until filling is homogenous.
06 - Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the surface. Wrap bottom of pan in foil. Place pan inside a larger roasting tray and add hot water until halfway up the sides.
07 - Bake for 50–60 minutes until edges are set but the center wobbles slightly. Turn oven off and leave cheesecake inside with door ajar for 1 hour.
08 - In a small saucepan, stir mango puree, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Add dissolved cornstarch and cook 2–3 minutes until glaze thickens. Cool to room temperature.
09 - Pour mango glaze evenly over cooled cheesecake. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
10 - Release springform rim. Garnish with fresh mango slices, whipped cream, or mint leaves as desired. Slice and serve chilled.

# Additional Information:

01 - Wrapping the springform pan tightly in foil helps prevent water from seeping into the crust during the water bath.
02 - Allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven reduces the risk of surface cracks.
