How to Make Berry Tropical Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling.
- **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese with ¼ cup cornstarch until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 cup heavy whipping cream until just combined.
- Divide the cheesecake batter evenly into two separate bowls.
- In one bowl, gently fold in 1 cup strawberry puree.
- In the other bowl, gently fold in 1 cup mango puree.
- Carefully pour half of the plain cheesecake batter into the prepared crust.
- Top with half of the strawberry batter, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
- Next, add half of the remaining plain cheesecake batter, followed by the remaining mango batter. Repeat swirling process.
- Bake in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 65-75 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully chill.
- Before serving, run a thin knife dipped in hot water around the edges of the cheesecake to release it from the pan.
- Serve chilled and garnish with fresh strawberries, mango slices, and a drizzle of strawberry sauce (optional).
