Using and electric mixer, blend the cream cheese, sugar and salt until combined.
24 oz (3 packages/250g each) of cream cheese, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp salt
Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between. Then add in the mango puree and vanilla. Mix again until smooth. Gently pour over crust.
3 large eggs, 1 cup (250ml) mango puree, 2 tsp vanilla extract
Place pan on top of a baking sheet to prevent any drippings from burning onto the bottom of your oven. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center is almost set. You want 2-3 inches of the center to still be jiggly because it will firm up as it cools.
Run a thin knife along the sides to loosen the edges from the pan. Leave the cheesecake in the pan to cool completely. Then chill in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.
Optional topping
Beat the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread on top of cheesecake and garnish with some diced mangoes. Slice and serve.
Notes
I used a handheld blender to puree 1 generous cup of diced mangoes to yield 1 cup for this recipe. You can also used canned mango puree.
