1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits, crushed)
¼ cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
2 tbsp maple syrup or agave
For the Cheesecake Layer:
1 ½ cups raw cashews (soaked overnight or in hot water for 1 hour)
½ cup coconut cream (just the thick part from a can)
¼ cup maple syrup or agave
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
For the Mango Layer:
1 ½ cups fresh mango puree (blend ripe mangoes)
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix well and press into the base of a springform or tart pan. Refrigerate while preparing the cheesecake layer.
-
Make the Cheesecake Layer: Drain soaked cashews and blend with coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth. Pour over the crust and freeze for 3-4 hours until set.
-
Prepare the Mango Layer: In a saucepan, cook mango puree, lemon juice, and cornstarch (or agar agar) until thickened. Let it cool slightly.
-
Pour the mango layer over the set cheesecake and freeze for another 1-2 hours to set.
-
Let the cheesecake sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing, garnish with fresh mango, and serve chilled.
Notes
Use fresh mango for the best flavor, or canned mango puree if preferred.
If you don’t have coconut cream, full-fat coconut milk works as an alternative.
Adjust sweetness with your preferred sweetener, such as coconut sugar or stevia.
