No-Bake Mango Cheesecake - Eggless
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 200 gm digestive biscuit
- 100 gm butter
- 800 gm yogurt
- 400 gm paneer
- 1 cup mango pulp
- 12.5 gm agar agar or china grass
- 1-1/2 cup 300 ml water
- 1-1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Instructions
- Strain the yogurt in a cheese cloth overnight to get very thick hung curd.
- Thaw the paneer and grind it along with the thick yogurt to a smooth yet hard paste. Pour it into a large mixing bowl.
- Crush the digestive biscuits in a grinder. Melt the butter. Mix both together till well incorporated. Press to the bottom of a 8-inch spring-form pan. Refrigerate for an hour.
- Soak the agar agar in the water for 15-20 minutes till soft. Keep on low flame and cook till the agar agar gets melted completely.
- At the same time, keep the mango pulp on low flame, ensuring it does not boil.
- Once the agar agar melts, add the mango pulp into it and mix well to incorporate - all to be done when the flame is still on. Keep for another five minutes and switch off.
- Add the mango pulp to the paneer yogurt mixture and mix well with a metal whisk.
- Add in the sugar and vanilla essence finally and give it a good mix till the sugar is well incorporated.
- Pour this mixture over the prepared biscuit base and refrigerate for minimum 2 hours till well set.
Notes
1. To be sure that there are no bites, I blended the mango pulp-agar agar mixture together and then poured it into the yogurt-paneer mixture.
2. I didn't have the ingredients for the glaze. But to get the color on the top, I mixed 3 tbsp of Tang Mango in 100 ml cold water and poured it on top once the cheesecake was set. After a few hours, I took out the pan, poured out the Tang and then released from the spring-form. This gave a nice color on the top. :)
