Mini Mango Cheesecake
This mini mango cheesecake is quick, nourishing, and naturally sweet—ready in just 30 minutes and delicious served warm or chilled. Made with cottage cheese, egg and fresh mango, it’s high in protein, gluten-free, and contain very little added sugar, making it suitable for breakfast, post-workout snack or a light dessert. The mango provides a creamy texture and tropical flavour, while the fine polenta helps the cheesecake set gently. You can also swap the polenta for ground almonds if you prefer an even higher-protein, grain-free version. Simple, wholesome and wonderfully satisfying!
