Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 graham cracker crust, unbaked
1 ¼ cups mango nectar
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
Directions:
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2 In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Pour this batter into the graham cracker crust, and smooth over the top.
Step 3 Bake in preheated oven until the edges have puffed up but the middle still jiggles, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
Step 4 While the cheesecake is baking, and pour 1 cup of the mango nectar into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup of nectar, and stir into the boiling saucepan until thickened and clear, about 30 seconds. Place diced mango into a heatproof bowl, and toss with the thickened sauce. Allow to cool to room temperature, then pour over the cheesecake. Serve cold.
Consume Miracle Berry:
Just before digging in, chew 1 or more freeze-dried miracle berry (this can also be done during the preparation of ingredients). Ensure to remove pits to avoid a bitter taste.
Fact:
The active ingredient miraculin from miracle berry will turn sour foods such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, non-fat yoghurt and other citrus food to taste sweet without adding sugar. We recommend two halves or 2 servings for maximum effectiveness. Make sure to follow instructions from the back of the packaging.
Note: Sometimes you may need to add at least 5-7% of the total quantity of sugar required, this is due to the chemistry of the food, however, you may skip this as you wish. The goal is to totally reduce sugar and yet experience the same taste.
