Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Mango Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix the mango puree, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
Layer and Swirl:
Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the surface.
Add dollops of mango puree on top of the filling, then use a knife or skewer to create swirls.
Add the remaining cheesecake filling and smooth the top.
Add more dollops of mango puree on top and swirl again for a beautiful pattern.
Chill:
Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
Serve:
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with fresh mango slices or mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
