Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full crackers)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup pureed ripe mango (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 12 limes)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • Optional garnish: fresh mango cubes or thin lime slices
  • Optional garnish: mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust (10 minutes): Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan. Chill in the fridge while making the filling.
  2. Puree the mango (5 minutes): Blend diced mango in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain if watery to remove excess juice.
  3. Mix cream cheese and sugar (5 minutes): Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until silky smooth.
  4. Add mango and lime (5 minutes): Stir in mango puree, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
  5. Whip the cream and fold in (10 minutes): Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into the mango-cream cheese mixture.
  6. Assemble and freeze (4+ hours): Pour filling over chilled crust, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  7. Serve: Remove from freezer 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh mango chunks, lime slices, or mint if desired.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth texture. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid over-whipping. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Warm knife under hot water before slicing for clean edges. Drain mango puree well to avoid soggy filling. Variations include vegan and gluten-free substitutions.
