Units
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup mango purée (from fresh or frozen mango)
- 1 cup strawberry purée (from fresh or frozen strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup cold water (for blooming gelatin)
- Fresh mango and strawberry slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill while preparing the filling.
- Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Microwave for 15–20 seconds until dissolved and clear. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Divide the filling evenly into two bowls. Fold mango purée and half the gelatin into one. Fold strawberry purée and remaining gelatin into the other.
- Spread the mango layer over the crust and smooth the top. Chill for 20–30 minutes to slightly firm up.
- Carefully spread the strawberry layer over the mango layer. Smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mango and strawberry slices if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet fruit for best results.
- Chilling the mango layer before adding the strawberry layer helps maintain clean layers.
- You can blend and strain purées for a smoother texture.
- Refrigerate leftovers and consume within 3–4 days.
