This Small Batch Coconut Mango Cheesecake Recipe is a refreshing summery dessert which pairs a juicy and sweet mango compote with a rich, creamy coconut cheesecake. It’s a no bake dessert meaning you don’t need to use the oven to create this. This cheesecake is a small batch recipe also, using a loaf tin to shape it. It’s perfect for when you only want a few portions of cheesecake and is freezer friendly.
To make this small batch cheesecake, there are a few steps;
To make this coconut cheesecake we begin with the base of the cheesecake.
Combine biscuit crumbs with butter and dessicated coconut in a bowl until all the crumbs are coated in butter. Press the biscuit base firmly down into the tin, spreading it out evenly. Place in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
Next, combine the cream cheese and icing sugar in a mixing bowl by whisking it together for a few minutes until no lumps remain. Add the coconut milk and whisk together again until smooth and thickened. Transfer the cheesecake to the tin and spread evenly over the biscuit base. Place into the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
While the cheesecake is chiling, make the mango compote. You can use fresh or frozen mango for this compote, they are both delicious.
To begin, place the chopped mango, sugar, water and cornflour into a saucepan or deep pan. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until the mango starts to soften. Leave to one side and allow to cool completely before topping the set cheesecake with the compote.
You will have the best results for your cheesecake by using full fat cream cheese. Low fat cream cheese can be a bit on the watery side and cause your cheesecake to not set properly.
I used plain digestive biscuits in this recipe but you can use any biscuit you prefer. Gingernuts or a coconut or almond flavoured biscuit would be delicious.
Choose a tin of full fat coconut milk for this recipe. When you open the tin, make sure to pour it all into a bowl and whisk thoroughly before using. This is because coconut milk tends to separate between the liquids and the solids. The solids contain most of the fat in coconut milk which helps set the cheesecake so you don’t want to avoid it.
Yes absolutely, for best results freeze the cheesecake and mango compote separately. While they can be frozen together, if they are defrosted together the mango tends to leak a little liquid which can affect the texture and appearance of the cheesecake. Both the cheesecake and compote can be frozen for up to 6 months.
