Mango and Ginger Baked Cheesecake

Light, fruity and super smooth, this cheesecake can be made ahead – great if you’re cooking for guests. The roasting tin of water in the oven helps to prevent any cracks appearing on the surface.

Hands-on time 20min, plus cooling. Cooking time about 2hr 15min. Serves 8

FOR THE BASE

• 75g unsalted butter, melted, plus extra to grease

• 200g ginger biscuits, we used Doves Farm Ginger Oat Biscuits

FOR THE FILLING

• 2 x 400g tubs mango chunks in juice, drained, we used Nature’s Finest

• 3 pieces stem ginger (about 20g), drained

• 180g light cream cheese, we used Philadelphia

• 500g 0% fat Greek yogurt

• 2tbsp cornflour

• 4 medium eggs

FOR THE TOPPING

• 400g tub mango chunks in juice, drained

1 Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Lightly grease a 20.5cm round springform tin and line with baking parchment. For the base, whizz the biscuits in a blender or food processor until finely crushed (alternatively, bash in a food bag with a rolling pin). Add the melted butter and pulse/mix until combined. Tip into the prepared tin, level and press firmly with the back of a spoon. Bake in the oven for 15min, until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

2 Reduce oven to 150°C (130°C fan) mark 2. Put a roasting tin with hot water in the bottom of the oven

to create a steamy atmosphere.

3 For the filling, in a (clean) blender, whizz the mango and ginger until smooth. In a bowl, whisk the cream cheese until smooth. Add the yogurt, cornflour and whizzed mango, and whisk until combined. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.

4 Scrape filling into the tin and bake for 2hr, or until just set. Turn off the oven and leave cheesecake inside to cool for 30min before removing to a wire rack (still in tin) to cool completely.

5 Transfer to a serving plate or cake stand and top with the mango chunks. Serve in slices.
