Layered Honey Mango Cheesecake Food

LAYERED HONEY-MANGO CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the crust and mix well with a spoon the batch becomes evenly moist. Transfer the batch to a pie plate and press evenly to form the crust.
• Beat cream cheese, yogurt and honey with a mixer (egg beaters). As the batter gets smoother, add sugar spoonful by spoonful, followed by lemon juice, lemon rind, egg by egg, gelatin solution, and vinegar. Pour over the crust and bake for 45 minutes.
• Beat egg, mix with gelatin and water. Set aside.
• Place mango, lemon juice, lemon rind, cinnamon, sugar, and salt in the saucepan over high heat and keep stirring until it becomes mango compote. As the fruit continues to simmer it will lose a lot of water, so keep a jug of water next to you and add 1/4 cupfuls of water every other minute to keep its consistency. Add balsamic vinegar while cooking.
• When the compote is cooked, lower the heat. Add the egg-gelatin mixture spoonful by spoonful while continuing to stir the compote thoroughly. Simmer over low heat. Add honey and rum, mix well.
• Pour mango topping on top of the baked cheesecake and allow to set. Serve chilled.

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.
