Mango Ripple White Chocolate Cheesecake

Desserts are my thing and I have a very sweet tooth. I’ll pass on savoury for sweet, always. And cheesecake is just one of those desserts that can be customised in so many different ways. This mango ripple white chocolate cheesecake was a work of art! The sweetness of the mango, tart of the cream cheese and smoothness of the cheesecake filling! All this was topped off with a light whipped cream to tie it all together. I have to say, everyone who tried it, loved it! And it was gone in minutes! I had to save my dad a slice otherwise he wouldn’t have even gotten a chance to try it! So glad I made this cheesecake!

1. Preheat the oven to 180c. Line a 9 inch round spring form pan with parchment paper.

3. Mix the sour cream, cream cheese and sugar together, Add the eggs and mix it again. Add the white chocolate and half the mango puree. Mix it in until smooth. 

4. Pour half the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust Drizzle over half the remaining mango puree. Marble with a skewer or knife. Top with the remaining cheesecake mixture. Then top with the remaining mango puree. Marble it for the final time. 

5. Bake the cheesecake at 180c for 1 hour until almost set. Turn the oven off and cool it with the door ajar. This prevents cracks from forming in the cheesecake.
