How To Make This Mango Cheesecake Parfait

Base layer:

  • Crushed digestive biscuits form the base layer of this mango cheesecake parfait recipe, texturally making for a graham cracker-like crust. You can use granola instead as a healthy alternative.

Cheesecake layer:

  • We make this creamy filling by first beating together cream cheese and icing sugar. Also known as confectioner’s sugar, it is important to use only this (and not caster sugar or powdered sugar), as icing sugar contains cornstarch which adds structure.
  • Next, whisk in a splash of vanilla extract. You won’t taste it, but even a small dose of vanilla will go a long way in enhancing all the flavours of this cheesecake layer.
  • Finally, fold in cold whipped cream. You can whip regular Amul cream to soft peaks before folding this in gently into the cheesecake mixture.

To finish:

  • A mango salad of sorts is the final layer of this creamy parfait, made by puréeing a mango and then folding in some diced mangoes for texture. However, you can just add diced mangos on top as well!
