Mango is an amazing fruit and can be used in making various desserts and Mango Cheesecake is one of the common yet delicious desserts made out of Mango Pulp. Mango Cheesecake is traditionally prepared with Cream Cheese but this time I tried using Cottage Cheese or Paneer instead of Cream Cheese. Paneer is a cheaper option than Cream Cheese and is easily available and can be prepared at home with minimal effort. This is actually “Indified” version of Cheesecake but the end result is as good as the Cheesecake prepared with Cream Cheese. This No Bake Mango Cheesecake reminds me the taste of Aam-Sandesh that I used to have in Kolkata...
It says that Mango is the king of all fruits and I am in love with the kingliness of Mango 🙂 !!!!! I used to have more than 2 mangoes a day sometimes and this is a genetic problem I guess as My Dad is a Mango-maniac (after escaping the calorie fact actually).
