Description

This Mango Cheesecake Parfaits recipe combines the tropical sweetness of ripe mangoes with the creamy richness of a classic cheesecake layer, all nestled on a crunchy graham cracker base. Perfect as a quick and fuss-free dessert, these parfaits are elegantly presented in glasses and require only five simple ingredients, making them ideal for summer gatherings or anytime you crave a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 ripe mangoes (peeled and stoned)

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces room temperature plain cream cheese

Sweeteners and Others

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 package of graham crackers (crushed into crumbs)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango Purée: Purée the flesh of the peeled and stoned mangoes in a food processor or blender until completely smooth, creating a tropical base for the parfait.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the powdered sugar and room-temperature cream cheese, then continue to beat slowly until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated, forming a luscious cheesecake layer.
  3. Assemble the Parfaits: Evenly divide the crushed graham cracker crumbs among the bottoms of four serving glasses to create a crunchy, buttery base.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: Spoon alternating layers of mango purée and the cream cheese mixture into each glass, building up the parfait with vibrant colors and contrasting textures.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the parfaits until thoroughly chilled, about 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to meld and the textures to set. Serve cold for a refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use very ripe mangoes for the sweetest and most flavorful purée.
  • Room temperature cream cheese blends more easily with the whipped cream for a smoother texture.
  • If graham crackers are unavailable, you can substitute with digestive biscuits or crushed vanilla wafers.
  • For added crunch and flavor, consider sprinkling chopped nuts or toasted coconut on top before serving.
  • These parfaits can be prepared a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated until ready to serve.
