Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup ripe mango puree (approximately 2 ripe mangoes, blended until smooth)

Zest of 1 lime (for a refreshing twist)

For Garnish:

Fresh mango slices

Additional lime zest

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and shredded coconut.

      - Pour in the melted butter and sprinkle in the brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and resemble wet sand.

        - Distribute the crust mixture evenly among your serving cups or glasses. Press down firmly to form a compact layer at the bottom of each cup.

          - Place the cups in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

            Make the Cheesecake Filling:

              - In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.

                - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and smooth.

                  - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.

                    - Carefully fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula until just blended.

                      - Add in the mango puree and lime zest, folding gently to combine. Then, incorporate the remaining whipped cream, folding until no streaks of white are visible.

                        Assemble the Cups:

                          - Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

                            - Use a small spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth out the tops for an even finish.

                              Chill:

                                - Return the assembled cups to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 3 hours, allowing the cheesecake to set properly before serving.

                                  Garnish and Serve:

                                    - Before serving, beautifully top each cheesecake cup with fresh mango slices, a sprinkle of lime zest, and a mint leaf for a refreshing visual touch.

                                      - Indulge in your deliciously refreshing No-Bake Mango Cheesecake Cups!
