Description
A delightful dessert that combines luscious mango and tangy passionfruit layered with creamy cheesecake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup mango purée
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mango purée
- ½ cup passionfruit pulp (with or without seeds)
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8-inch round pan with parchment paper and grease it well.
- Beat together the cream cheese and sugar until they are smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until set but slightly jiggly. Cool completely and refrigerate.
- Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat the softened butter alongside the granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, vanilla, mango purée, and milk.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Divide the batter between two greased 8-inch pans and bake for 18–22 minutes. Cool layers completely.
- Combine mango purée, passionfruit pulp, and optional sugar in a saucepan. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Allow to cool completely.
- Position one mango cake layer on your serving plate, top it with the chilled cheesecake layer, then place the second mango cake layer on top. Spread the passionfruit mango topping over the entire cake, letting it drip down the sides.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing to allow all the flavors to meld.
Notes
Feel free to substitute with a store-bought mango purée or use dairy-free cream cheese for a lighter version.
