• Measuring cups and spoons – for precise ingredient amounts

No-Bake Mango Cheesecake Pots Cooking Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Start with the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Combine them in a bowl until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Divide this mixture evenly into your serving pots and press it gently but firmly on the bottom to create a compact crust layer. Place the pots in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Mango Puree

If you’re using fresh mango, peel and chop about one medium-sized mango, then blend it until smooth. If you have pre-made mango puree, you’re ready to go. Set aside 1/2 cup for the cheesecake filling.

Step 3: Mix the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Next, gently fold in the mango puree, blending it evenly through the mixture.

Step 4: Fold in the Whipped Cream

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. This step is crucial to keep the filling light and airy. Make sure to combine just until no streaks remain.

Step 5: Assemble the Pots

Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in each pot. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula. Finish each pot by topping it with fresh mango slices arranged beautifully.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the pots for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This chilling time allows the cheesecake filling to set beautifully. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Make It Diet-Friendly

• Use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese and Greek yogurt to reduce calories.
• Replace honey or maple syrup with a natural zero-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
• Opt for whole-grain or gluten-free graham cracker crumbs if you prefer.
• Use coconut whipped cream or a plant-based alternative to keep it dairy-free and lighter.

Chef’s Rationale

The beauty of these No-Bake Mango Cheesecake Pots lies in their simplicity and texture contrast. The crust offers a buttery crunch that grounds the creamy, luscious filling. Using Greek yogurt adds a subtle tang that balances the sweetness of the mango and honey perfectly. Folding in whipped cream creates an airy texture that prevents the dessert from feeling dense or heavy. Mango puree infuses the cheesecake with tropical flavor without overpowering the delicate cream cheese base. Finally, fresh mango slices on top add freshness and a pop of color, making the presentation irresistible.

Refrigerate, Freeze, Reheat

These cheesecake pots are best served chilled. Store them covered in the refrigerator where they will keep fresh for up to 3 days. While freezing is possible, it can alter the texture of the whipped cream and yogurt slightly, so if you choose to freeze, do so for no longer than a week and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheating is not recommended as this dessert is meant to be enjoyed cold.
