Instructions
Crust
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine all crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse until crumbs have formed.
- Press the crust mixture into a lightly oiled 8 inch round springform pan, making a small edge of about an inch all around. .
- Bake the crust for about 15 minutes until brown and set aside to cool while you make the filling.
Filling
- Make a mango pulp by draining a can of mangoes and pulsing in the blender until smooth. It is important to run this through a sieve to remove the mango strands. (You can also buy cans of mango puree in some stores.) You want to make about 1/2 cup of sieved pulp in the end.
- In a clean food processor, process the tofu and cream cheeses until fluffy and smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and whirl until smooth, for another 1-2 minutes.
- Pour this mixture into the cooled shell and bake for about 1 hour. The edges will be brown but the middle will still be a little soft. Turn off the oven and leave the cheezecake in for another 30 minutes with the door closed.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, remove the ring and decorate as desired. I used some coconut whipped cream topped with some thin slices of fresh mango and some grated orange rind. Enjoy!
