It is a season of love, romance and to fill our lives with sweetness. To celebrate valentines day was thinking of various options to gift my S (my spouse). I wanted to gift something apart from card, chocolates, candles, accessories, clothes, etc. so thought of making an eggless no bake mango cheesecake. S loves mangoes and in USA we don't get the type of mangoes which are so very easily available in India. And I was very happy with results. It was such a delight to see him enjoy cheesecake. This is a simple recipe with few ingredients. Best part is no bake and no egg.
Let's make note of ingredients required (for a 750 gm cake)
250 gm Mangoes
200 gm digestive biscuits
3 tbsp melted butter (unsalted)
3/4 cup sugar or more (Depending on sourness of fruit)
1 cup hung curd (You could also use cream cheese)
1 cup cream
1 tbsp gelatin (or agar agar)
4 tbsp water
some pistachio for garnishing
2. Puree mangoes and sugar together in a mixie/ blender. Add the hung curd and cream, blend well to make a smooth mixture. Pour it into a bowl. You could also use readily available mango pulp in that scenario sugar is not required. I used pulp and skipped sugar. Add 4 Tbsp of water in the gelatin. Then pour the gelatin slowly into mixture. Keep stirring continuously.
3. Now pour the mango mixture onto set biscuit base. Cover and refrigerate to set overnight.
4. Pour some mango pulp on the top of mixture as a final layer to dessert and refrigerate for 30 mins and serve cold.
Garnish with sliced pistachio and serve cold, unfortunately I ran out of it so couldn't garnish :(
Tip: Make sure to drain water from curd. The curd should be really thick.

Note: I have never used agar agar so not very sure how to use it. Please refer some youtube videos to guide you.
