Steps
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- 2
Combine the graham cracker crumbs (you can also use digestive biscuits) with the butter until the mixture looks like damp sand.
- 3
Pat the crumbs into the base of a springform pan, and place in the freezer to set.
- 4
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese till smooth.
- 5
Add the mango puree, and beat well till incorporated.
- 6
Add the sugar (you may increase or decrease the amount of sugar you use depending upon the sweetness of the mangoes) and beat well till combined.
- 7
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- 8
Add the sour cream, vanilla extract and custard powder and beat till fully incorporated.
- 9
Take the springform pan out of the freezer and wrap it in a layer of clingwrap, then an layer of aluminium foil.
- 10
Pour the batter into the pan.
- 11
Place the pan in a roasting tray, and place the roasting tray in the oven. Pour water from a recently boiled kettle in the roasting tray, till halfway up the sides of the pan.
- 12
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, till the cake is just set but the center is still a bit wobbly.
- 13
Remove the cake from the oven, take it out of the water bath and place it on a counter-top.
- 14
Unwrap the aluminium foil and clingwrap, and let the cake cool to room temperature.
- 15
Once cooled, place the cake in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours (you could do this overnight too).
- 16
When set and chilled, unspring the cake from the pan and serve.
- 17
Optional: you could make a 'mango mirror' to top the cake. Dissolve 1 level tsp of powdered gelatin in 1 tablespoon of hot water, and add it to 1 cup of thick mango juice (with pulp). Pour over the cooled cake, and place it in the fridge to set the 'mirror'.
