Mango White Chocolate Cheesecake Cups

This cheesecake cup has a light mousse-like texture and looks so inviting with a bit of mango swirled into the top of each cheesecake. It freezes well, which makes it perfect for snacking in the future or a dessert at the last minute.

Crust
  1. 1 cup (250 mL) graham wafer crumbs
  2. 1/4 cup (60 mL) unsweetened flaked coconut
  3. 3 tbsp (45 mL) butter, melted
  4. 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
Filling
  1. 8 oz (250 g) brick-style cream cheese, softened
  2. 6 oz (175 g) white chocolate, melted
  3. 11/2 cups (375 mL) canned mango purée, divided
  4. 2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice
  5. 3/4 cup (175 mL) heavy or whipping (35%) cream
Garnishes (Optional)
  1. Fresh mango, toasted coconut and white chocolate shavings
Instructions
  1. Crust: In a bowl, stir together wafer crumbs, coconut, butter and sugar; mix well to combine. Evenly divide the crumb mixture into 14 mini mason jars or 1/2 cup (125 mL) ramekins and gently pack down with the back of a spoon.
  2. Filling: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until lightened. Beat in white chocolate until smooth. Set aside 2 tbsp (30 mL) of mango purée to be used for garnish. Add remaining mango and lemon juice; beat until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, using clean beaters, whip cream to soft peaks. Fold in half of the whipped cream into the mango mixture; gently mix to combine. Fold in remaining whipped cream until smooth.
  4. Evenly divide mixture into each jar. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) of remaining mango onto the top of each jar. Using a toothpick or skewer, gently stir the surface to create a swirled pattern on top. Cover each with a lid or plastic wrap.
  5. Chill overnight. Garnish with fresh mango, toasted coconut and white chocolate shavings, if desired.
  6. Serves 14
Notes
  1. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Can be frozen for up to 1 month.
