Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs 🍪
½ cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
32 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1¼ cups granulated sugar 🍬
1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
4 large eggs 🥚
1 cup sour cream 🥛
1 cup fresh mango, pureed 🥭
1 cup shredded coconut 🥥
For the Passion Fruit Glaze:
½ cup passion fruit puree 🍈
¼ cup granulated sugar 🍬
1 tbsp cornstarch 🌽
Instructions:
STEP 01: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
STEP 02: Make the Graham Cracker Crust
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Set aside.
STEP 03: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. Fold in the sour cream, mango puree, and shredded coconut until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
STEP 04: Bake to Tropical Perfection
Pour the creamy mango-coconut filling over the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool with the oven door slightly ajar. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
STEP 05: Create the Passion Fruit Glaze
In a small saucepan, mix the passion fruit puree, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens. Allow it to cool before pouring it generously over the chilled cheesecake.
