EGGLESS MANGO CHEESE CAKE (NO BAKE)

Hey all ! Here I am back with my 50th post :-):-)
Special thanks to some of my dear friends 
for keep on  asking about my next post :-)
"Eggless Mango Cheese Cake" :-)
 I baked this for my Hubby's birthday.. 
He loves mango either raw or as a fruit or juice :-)
That's why I chose mango flavour for this cake..
 I love cooking but baking is a whole new world
and every attempt is very exciting & interesting:-)
Lets do it :-)
EGGLESS MANGO CHEESE CAKE (NO BAKE):
 Recipe cuisine: Indian / Recipe category: Dessert
Prep time: 2hrs (1 hr for thawing) / Cook time : 3 to 4 hours
FOR THE CAKE:
Mango (Canned) : 2 cups (diced)
Cream Cheese : 200 to 225 gms
Cream : 200 ml
Agar agar or China grass : 6 tblsp (chopped)
Sugar : 3/4 cup 
Water : 3/4 cup
FOR THE BOTTOM LAYER:
Biscuit : 10 to 15 pcs (I used Parle-G)
Honey : 3 to 4 tblsp
METHOD:
1) Drain the Mango from the can & let it rest.
Take the cream cheese out of fridge & let it rest for 1 hour. 

2) Now in a blender, take the biscuits & powder it.
3) Transfer the powdered biscuits to a container & add honey.
Mix well
3) I didn't have a springform pan, so I had to place aluminium foil 
so that I can lift the cake after done. Please avoid this step if using 
Springform pan.
4) Layer the pan with the biscuit crumble & usimg a spoon make it even.
5) Now cut the agar agar or china grass into pcs.
6) Boil the water in medium to low flame & add the china grass.
Let it cook in medium to low flame.
7) Meanwhile, blend the mangoes into puree in a blender.
8) Cream cheese would have become soft by now. 
Add cream & sugar. Blend it evenly without any lumps.


9) Now add the mango puree to the cream cheese paste & mix well.
10) Add 2 tblsp of diced mango to this mixture (OPTIONAL)
11) Now the china grass would have dissolved in the water & would have become 
a paste as shown in the picture below.
12) Mix the china grass mixture the mango mixture from step 10.


13) Now pour the final mixture on the cake pan on top the biscuit layer.
14 ) Refrigerate  for 3 to 4 hours. Please take out of the fridge 20 to 30 mins before serving.
Enjoy yummy & rich Mango Cheese cake :-)

NOTE:
* I used Mango but any flavour can be used. 
Pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and so on.
Please increase sugar as per your taste buds as cream cheesy will be salty.
* I felt i should have made the biscuit layer little bit more thicker.
So you can add 30 pcs instead of 15. I used Parle G any biscuit can be used.
Please avoid salt biscuits & cream biscuits though.
* If you are using agar agar powder instead of agar agar strands.
 Add 3 to 4tsps of powder.
* I used China grass as a vegetarian substitute for Gelatin. 
Gelatin can also be used but please check the ingredients before using.
* I used fat free cream cheese, low fat cream. Full fat cream
cheese & cream can also be used.
* I used canned mangoes but fresh mangoes can also be used.
* Please keep the cake refrigerated if not it will be very soft.
