Ingredients
  

Crust:

1 cup digestive biscuits or graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Filling:

16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

1 cup ripe mango puree (approximately 2 medium ripe mangoes, pureed until smooth)

Zest of 1 lime

Topping:

1 ripe mango, diced into small cubes

1 tablespoon lime juice

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the digestive biscuit crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Use a fork to mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

      - Distribute the crumb mixture evenly among 6 to 8 serving cups, using the back of a spoon or your fingers to press down firmly to create a solid base. Place the cups in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.

        Make the Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

            - Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined and smooth.

              - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful to maintain the airy texture.

                - Next, gently fold in the mango puree and lime zest until the mixture is fully blended and smooth, ensuring you keep as much fluffiness as possible.

                  Assemble the Cups:

                    - Take the crust cups out of the fridge. Spoon the mango cheesecake filling on top of each crust, dividing it evenly among the cups. Smooth the tops with a spatula for a polished appearance.

                      - Cover the assembled cups with plastic wrap and let them chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until they are firmly set.

                        Prepare the Topping:

                          - In a small bowl, toss the diced mango with lime juice. This not only adds flavor but also prevents the mango from browning.

                            Serve:

                              - Remove the cheesecake cups from the fridge once they are set. Generously top each cup with the lime-marinated mango and, if desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.

                                - Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing tropical flavors!
