Mini Mango Cheesecake
Background
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!
Ingredients
- 150g cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- Flesh of ½ mango
- 3 Tbsp fine polenta (cornmeal)
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar or honey
Instructions
- Place the mango flesh, egg, and cottage cheese into a blender. Blend for a few seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Add the polenta and gently mix until combined, then stir in the coconut sugar or honey.
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Spoon the batter into two small silicone moulds or shallow mini tins.
