Mango Millet Cheesecake Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

For Cheesecake

Cream Cheese 300 gms

Sweetened Condensed Milk 120 gms

White Chocolate 40 gms

Heavy Cream 130 gms

For Millet Crumble

Millet Biscuits 200 gms

Butter 50 gms

For Glaze

Vegetarian Gelatin 30 gms

Castor Sugar 400 gms

Mango juice 400 gms

METHOD:

For the Base

Crush millet cookies, add melted butter, and mix the ingredients thoroughly. Grease a cheesecake mould, line the bottom of the cake mould with the mixture and flatten equally.

For the Batter

1) Whisk Philadelphia-style cream cheese in a kitchen aid with a paddle attachment for 5-6 minutes until soft and smooth. Using a spatula, scrape down the sides regularly.

2) Chop the white chocolate into small pieces. In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a 35% boil, pour it over the chopped white chocolate, and make a ganache.

3) Stir the condensed milk into the ganache. Fold small amounts of ganache mix into the cream cheese. Do the process continuously to avoid making any lumps.

4) Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crushed millet biscuits lined in the mould. Bake at 150 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Once done, cool down the cheesecake and refrigerate it.

For the Glaze

Boil mango juice and castor sugar in a pan. Add the vegetarian gelatin to the mixture. Once the glaze is set, you can pour it over the cheesecake.

Tips:

You can bake the cheesecake in a mould or ring. Once baked, it should be frozen and then garnished with the glaze.
