Mango Ginger And Coriander Cheesecake Food

MANGO, GINGER AND CORIANDER CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• To make the crust - Start by turning the biscuits into fine crumbs, either using a food processor or by putting them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, and add the dry coriander (cilantro). Melt the butter and add to the biscuit mixture. Combine well and then tip it into a 9" spring-form cake tin. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture down to form an evenly packed base. Transfer to the fridge to set. To make the filling - In a blender puree the flesh of 2 mangos. Put half in the fridge for later - you'll use this for your topping. Dissolve the gelatin in about a third of a mug of warm water and leave to cool. Very finely chop the ginger and fresh coriander and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar and icing sugar using a spoon to mix vigorously. Then stir in the mango puree and gelatin. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Stir this in gently to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the ginger and fresh coriander (cilantro) until evenly mixed in. Pour the mixture into the tin on top of the biscuit base and transfer to the fridge. Allow to chill for at least 2 hours before adding the topping. To make the topping - Add the juice of one lime to the remaining mango puree. Dissolve 1 tsp gelatin in about 3 tbsp warm water and add to the mango mixture, stirring well. Pour the topping over the top spread it out evenly using a spoon. Return the cake to the fridge. Leave it to chill for at least another 3 hours - but ideally overnight. Carefully remove from the tin and transfer to a plate or cake stand. Served best after a delicious Asian feast!
