Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar (optional)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup (40g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 large ripe mango (about 1 cup or 165g), peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 to 1½ teaspoons Tajín seasoning
  • Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves, extra Tajín for dusting, thin mango slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar if using. Mix well until crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed, about 3 minutes. Add more melted butter if too dry.
  2. Layer the crust: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture into each jar or glass. Press down firmly to create a compact base. Chill the jars in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth (2-3 minutes). Slowly add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lime juice, mixing until combined.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes). Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy.
  5. Prepare the mango layer: Toss diced mango with lime zest and Tajín seasoning. Adjust Tajín to taste.
  6. Assemble the jars: Spoon about 3 tablespoons of cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in each jar. Add about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned mango on top. Repeat layers if jars are tall enough.
  7. Chill and set: Refrigerate jars for at least 2 hours, ideally 4 hours, to allow flavors to meld and cheesecake to firm up. 1 hour is acceptable for softer texture.
  8. Serve and garnish: Before serving, sprinkle extra Tajín on top and add a fresh mint leaf or thin mango slice.

Notes

Soften cream cheese to room temperature or microwave in short bursts to avoid lumps. Whip cream in a chilled bowl for better volume. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbly texture. Adjust Tajín seasoning gradually to avoid overpowering spice. Chill longer for better flavor melding and firmer texture. Use frozen mango thawed if fresh is unavailable. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days; avoid freezing.
