Do I post too many cheesecake recipes? Is there such a thing? NO. There is not. I think I only know one person who doesn’t like cheesecake. Last I checked, that person is my brother. I think he hates cream cheese, but then he recently said that he likes carrot cake which usually has cream cheese frosting. Maybe he likes cream cheese if it’s mixed with lots of sugar. Therefore, he might like cheesecake now. I don’t know. Jeff, if you’re reading, what’s the latest?

He also doesn’t like coffee. Isn’t he weiiiird?

I don’t have to tell you that we are cheesecake people in this house because I’ve told you many, many, MANY times before. Nothing’s changed! We are still cheesecake people and always will be.

This Mango Peach version is in keeping with the tropical kick I’ve been on lately! The cheesecake is rich, smooth, and creamy, with fresh mango and peach puree baked right into the batter. It’s fresh and fruity and actually makes this cheesecake feel light and bright, where cheesecake can sometimes feel too heavy. The crust…. it’s heavenly. You can’t skip on adding the macadamia nuts. They cost are fortune, but they truly enhance the tropical boost to this cheesecake and add a toasty and nutty flavor to the shortbread crust.

I’ve been pretty MIA this week, and I’d apologize for that, but maybe you found it to be sort of a relief? Either way, if you need me, I’ll be at Sephora for the fourth time this week shopping the VIB sale. Happy Friday!!!

    He doesn’t like coffee?!?! Or cheesecake?! Totally weird. 🙂

    I’m loving all of your fruity desserts these days. We’re into mangoes in a major way right now, so this is calling my name. And that crust? I could eat it alone…cheesecake or not!

    Have a great weekend, Sarah!

    Nope, I still don’t like cheesecake . . .sorry! My thing with carrot cake is that that I love it when the frosting is sugary, but not so much if it tastes too much like cream cheese. You pretty much nailed it 🙂

    Sarah, what would be the equivalent in cups of 1 1/2 mangos and 1/2 a mango? I generally have frozen mango on habd but not fresh ones. Thanks, this looks deliciously refreshing.

      Hi Marlene! Ya know, I don’t know exactly, but I think you could probably use about 2-3 cups and divide that proportionally, and it will work just fine. I’ve made this cheesecake with so many variations, and it always holds up really well and is very versatile. I think you could be flexible with the amount of mango, and it should still turn out okay! Thanks!

        I used the 2 whole mangos in the puree. I think the cake just came incredibly creamier. And shortbread cookie in the crust is to die for.

          This cheesecake is so adaptable and it always turns out – I think it’s easy to add extra fruit and flavors, and it always turns out for me! So glad you like the crust too. I think shortbread is so much tastier than regular graham cracker crusts. I’m thrilled to hear you liked this!

    Hi Sarah! Oh my goodness, this looks incredible! Is there a way to make this a no bake recipe? Could I just eliminate the eggs and skip the oven part?

    Reply

      Oh, that’s an interesting idea. You know, I think you could! Use the same amount of cream cheese, 3 bricks, but instead of granulated sugar, use powdered sugar. That will be much smoother in a no-bake version. Leave out the eggs, obviously! As you said! And then the only other change I’d make, based on other no-bake cheesecake recipes, is to add Cool Whip or whipped topping. Try folding in 1 cup to start. With a no-bake cheesecake, I feel like you’ll need something to give it a little fluff and lift. That’s what I’d do! Let me know if you try it, and how it turns out. I think it’d do well in a no-bake version!
