Mini Mango Cheesecake Cups

by | Jan 12, 2015 | Dessert, No Bake, Recipe | 18 comments

Remember the Mini Choc Hazelnut Cheesecake Cups I made just before Christmas when I had a few girlfriends over? Well, these are the other flavour I made. A plain mango cheesecake cup topped with toasted coconut. It was hard to choose which was the nicer but it all depends if you are a chocoholic or love the fresh taste of mango. I can’t begin to tell you how easy these are and great for a crowd and just a little taste for everyone instead of a whole, big cheesecake but with the same flavour.

Begin by crushing some plain flavoured biscuits. These are called Butternut Snaps and are a crunchy, buttery biscuit.

Using fresh, tinned or frozen mango, blitz until you have about 1/2 to 1 cup of mango puree. (You could also use tinned mango puree.) It’s mango season here where I live in Brisbane and the mangoes are in abundance. Mix in one 250gram tub of spreadable cream cheese.


Spoon a tablespoon of biscuit crumbs into the bottom of a shot glass or small cup. (You can use bigger glasses if you like.) These plastic cups were about $2 for ten at my local dollar store. Spoon on the cheesecake mixture, top with a little finely diced fresh mango if you have it and sprinkle with a little toasted, shredded coconut. Pop in the fridge to set. That’s it!

No need to set with gelatine, they will firm up in the fridge just nicely and no need for a long list of ingredients. I can’t even begin to imagine all the different flavour combinations you could use. Just Google cheesecake and add those base ingredients to a tub of spreadable cream cheese. It really is that easy.

Mini Mango Cheesecake Cups

  • 6 crunchy butter based biscuits, crushed
  • 1 tub 250gm spreadable cream cheese
  • 1/2 fresh mango, pureed (or tinned/frozen equivalent, depending on how many cups you are making)
  • extra fresh diced mango for garnish
  • shredded coconut, toasted for garnish
  1. Spoon 1 tablespoon of crushed biscuits into the base of a shot glass or small plastic cup.
  2. Mix mango puree with cream cheese and spoon on top of biscuit crumbs.
  3. Top with a little diced fresh mango and toasted shredded coconut.
  4. Chill until ready to serve.

Makes 10 small cups.

    Wow, so easy and they look delicious! I made my first cheesecake recently but I used The Aeroplane Sweet Treats packet mix because I thought it would better to start off easy. Haha.

    My husband loves mango and cheesecake! It's not really mango season here, but there are always mangoes to be found in Hawaii (I just might have to pay for them instead of getting them for free from a friend). Great looking recipe that I'm excited to try soon! Visiting from What to do Weekends. =)
