Mango and Ginger Cheesecake

We had a celebration in our house this week so a little indulgence was key.

Now I can’t think of fruit better than mango, it truly is the king for me.

We had a beautiful box of ripe, sweet, juicy Indian mangoes and well let’s just say life was good.

I purposely used less sweetness in the recipe as the mangoes themselves were living up to their reputation but if you prefer it sweeter feel free to expand on the recipe.
