Baked Mango Food

BAKED MANGO CUSTARD

Steps:

• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350˚F.
• Puree the chopped mangoes in a blender or food processor. You should have about 1 cup puree.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer an medium speed until the eggs are frothy. Gradually beat in the sugar. Gradually pour in the evaporated milk, mango puree, and vanilla. Pour the custard into eight 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins. Place the custard cups in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish.
• Place the pan with the custard cups in the oven. Add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake until a knife inserted in the center of a custard comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the custard cups from the water and transfer to wire racks. Let cool to room temperature. Chill time (optional): 4 hours.
• If desired, cover each cup with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

MANGO CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Prepare cheesecake base: Place graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor. Process until they are almost fine crumbs. Add dark brown sugar and butter. Process until mixture clumps together like damp sand. Press mixture evenly into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate while preparing filling.
• Prepare filling: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Bring a kettle of water to boil. Peel and cut flesh from mangoes and purée in food processor until smooth. Add cream cheese and process until smooth. Add superfine sugar, and with motor running, add eggs one at a time through the processor's feed tube. Add lime juice, and process until blended.
• Place springform pan on a double layer of strong foil. Crimp edges up around pan to make a waterproof nest. Place foil-covered pan in a deep roasting pan. Scrape filling into pan and pour boiling water into roasting pan to come about halfway up sides of cake pan.
• Bake until filling is set and wobbles slightly in the center (it will continue to cook as it cools), about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Remove springform pan from water bath. Discard foil and place pan on a cooling rack. When cool, refrigerate overnight. To serve, remove from pan and place on a serving platter before slicing.
