No bake mango cheesecake recipe – Decadent raw vegan style mango cheesecake. A dessert that’s incredibly healthy and simple to make.

I’m really loving these no bake cheesecake recipes right now. The last time I made a cheesecake was when I made this chocolate cheesecake – raw might I add. I will be the first to admit I’m not a huge fan of cheesecake well at least the store brought kind.

My no bake mango cheese cake recipe is a healthy, gelatin free and taste so amazing and a contrast to manufactured cheesecake which are far too sweet and loaded with unnecessary fillers, most of which feature words that cannot be pronounced.

How this raw mango cheesecake came about

My solution to combating the loathe for factory made cheesecake was to learn how to make it from scratch at home, not just any type of cheesecake but a raw one. Initially when I first discovered raw cheesecake I was stunned to find out that the majority of ingredients used were nuts/seeds and even vegetables, before you freak out I’ll explain what I mean further down, so don’t click the X button just yet.

What is a no bake cheesecake

A no bake aka raw cheesecake is essentially a dessert that’s made from nature ingredients and eaten in it’s unadulterated state. Many raw foodists prefer to consume their foods using this method to procure the full health benefits from eating foods which haven’t been processed.

While I don’t lead a fully raw lifestyle I do enjoy eating raw energy balls and cheesecakes which explains why I made this no bake mango cheesecake.

How to prepare no bake mango cheesecake

The base of this no bake cheesecake is made from shredded coconut, almonds, coconut oil, a splash of water to soften the meal and a hint of coconut nectar. All of this can be ground to a fine meal using a food processor and a little patience on your end – pulse, pulse pulse.

The filling has a surprisingly secret ingredient which helps to yield that creamy texture……drum roll….guess what it is? Give up? It’s zucchini (courgette) that’s right.

You cannot taste it which is a huge plus and this is a great way to incorporate more veggies into your diet. Cashew nuts help to even out the white creamy consistency for the filling along with some GI sweetener.

Mango cheesecake topping – Then the last part of the cheesecake is the mango topping made from pureeing a sweet mango. You won’t need to add any sweetener unless the mango isn’t very sweet.

How long does the cheesecake take to freeze?

The entire cheesecake will need to freeze for several hours or overnight in order for it to fully set.

Keep the cheesecake in the freezer at all times until serving. Keep in mind because the topping is made from pureed fruit, it may destablise at room temperature – Eat immediately when serving.
