Total preparation time: 2 hours (including baking time)
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients:
*For the cake base:*
- 2 large eggs
- 75 g sugar
- 50 g butter (melted)
- 25 ml oil (preferably sunflower oil)
- 250 g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (approximately 10 g)
*For the filling:*
- 300 g condensed milk
- 150 g sugar
- 150 g Almette cheese (or another creamy cheese)
- 500 g cottage cheese (well drained)
- 250 g fruit yogurt (preferably peach or vanilla flavored)
- 4 large eggs
- 3 packets of vanilla sugar (or 3 drops of vanilla essence)
- 1 can of mango (approximately 400 g, with chopped fruit)
*For decoration:*
- 1 kg whipped cream (preferably fresh)
- 4 packets of cream stabilizer
- 6 tablespoons of sugar (for whipped cream)
- Colored candy for decoration
- Chocolate figurines (optional, for a more festive look)
Preparation:
1. Preparing the base:
Start by preheating the oven to 160°C. In a large bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar until it becomes a frothy mixture. Add the melted butter and oil and continue to mix.
2. Incorporating dry ingredients:
Sift the flour together with the baking powder, then add them to the wet mixture. Knead well with your hands until you obtain a homogeneous dough. It is important not to knead too much, so that the base remains fluffy.
3. Preparing the pan:
Prepare a round springform pan, lining it with aluminum foil to prevent the mixture from leaking. Spread the dough evenly on the bottom of the pan using a spatula or spoon.
4. Preparing the filling:
In another bowl, combine the condensed milk with Almette cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Mix for 2-3 minutes until it becomes a smooth and homogeneous cream. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Adding flavor:
Finally, incorporate the vanilla sugar and mix again to evenly distribute the flavor. This step is essential for achieving a flavorful and delicious cheesecake.
6. Assembling the cake:
Carefully pour the filling mixture over the prepared base. It is normal for the filling to be liquid, so do not worry. Add the slices or cubes of mango on top, arranging them evenly.
7. Baking:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes. It is important not to open the oven door in the first 60 minutes to avoid the cake falling. Check if it is done using the "toothpick test" – insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake; if it comes out clean, it is ready.
8. Cooling:
Once baked, let the cake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. This will allow the flavors to develop and the texture to stabilize.
9. Decorating the cake:
Before serving, whip the cream with sugar and stabilizer until it becomes firm. Use a spatula to coat the cake with whipped cream, creating a smooth and elegant appearance. You can add colored candies and chocolate figurines for an extra festive touch.
Helpful tip:
To make the cake even more special, you can add a mango glaze or a berry sauce for serving. Additionally, a glass of champagne or a fresh fruit cocktail pairs perfectly with this dessert.
Nutritional benefits:
This mango cheesecake provides a good source of protein from the cheeses and eggs, while mango adds extra vitamins and antioxidants. Although it is a dessert, consumed in moderation it can be part of a balanced diet.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other types of fruit?
Absolutely! You can experiment with peaches, pineapple, or berries to vary the flavors.
2. How can I make the cake vegan?
Replace the cheese with plant-based alternatives, use soy yogurt, and flaxseed or apple for the filling.
3. What can I use instead of condensed milk?
You can use sweetened coconut milk or a combination of milk and sugar.
Now that you have all this information, you are ready to create a mango cheesecake that will impress all your guests. Cheers and happy cooking!
