This is one of the times in the year where I always wish that I was close to my family and near my loved ones :(
My childhood b-day celebration is the fondest memory ever!! :)
On my birthday,every year my mom used to wake me up with a birthday song on our stereo and with a peck on my cheeks :)
My grandparents used to come and stay with us and we used to have nice time as my b-day always was during school holidays :)
I used to take out my favorite doll from the showcase and I used to have a special photo session with her ...me posing n all :D
My entire family used to gather for luncheon and all cousins,aunties n uncles used to meet...that was a gr8 time indeed!!
Well, I miss those days...wish there was a time machine and i could just sit and go back to that time of my life :(
OK...I need to stop as I am obviously running high on emotions!!
Let me grab a sip of water.........
Now, getting back to my present day...I prepared 2 dishes for my b-day and both with my loved ingredient and i.e any guesses????.....its Mango!!
I made a Mango Cheesecake...No-Bake and Egg less and Mango Ice Cream :)

Ingredients:
For the Base Layer:
- 75 gm Unsalted Butter
- 210 gm Digestive Biscuits
For the Cheese Layer:
- 250gm Cream Cheese (you can use any brand of your choice)
- 170gm Cream
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 3/4th Cup Mango Puree
For Thickening:
- 1 Tbsp Gelatin
- 6 Tbsp Hot water
For the Top Layer:
- 1 Cup Mango Puree
- 1/4 Cup Cream
- 8" Spring Form Pan
- 6- Mango Cubes
- 8 Blanched Almonds ,sliced
Method:
- In a Ziploc bag, add digestive biscuits and crush them to smooth powder. You can optionally do this in a mixer grinder too.
- In a pan, add butter and let it melt. Don't let it boil.
- Add the biscuit powder to it and mix well.
- In the spring form pan, spread this mixture evenly and press properly so that its firm and place it in refrigerator for an hour.
- Meanwhile prepare the cheese layer. Here mix cream cheese, cream and sugar. Beat at high speed for 10 mins or till the mixture is smooth.
- In a cup add 1 tbsp gelatin and 6 tbsp hot water and mix well.
- Take 1 & 3/4 cup Mango Puree and to this add the gelatin. Mix well.
- Now take 3/4 portion out of this mango mixture and add to cheese mixture.
- Beat it again at high speed for 5 mins.
- Pour the cheese mixture over the biscuit layer and place again in refrigerator for another hour to set.
- Meanwhile, to the remaining mango mixture add cream and mix well. Optionally you can add sugar but i didn't,as the puree itself was too sweet for me.
- Pour this mango mixture over the cheese layer and keep it refrigerated for another hour or till its set.
- Garnish with Almonds and Mango cubes.
- Enjoy!!! :)
Tips:
- You can use agar-agar instead of gelatin. You can get it in any store easily.
- Always remember that proportion of biscuits to that of butter should be 3:1. If you don't go by this proportion then chances are there that your biscuit layer will be too hard to cut.
