Preheat oven to 350F

1 – 9” spring loaded pan

2   8oz. packages of cream cheese-room temp.

1   8 oz container Marscapone Cheese

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons flour

pinch sea salt

3 eggs

1 teaspoons vanilla

1/8 teaspoon Coconut extract

Mango compote

In a small bowl

Add

2 mangoes peeled and sliced. Set aside.

Bring 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan, whisking until sugar has dissolved.

Pour over mangoes and macerate until ready to serve.

You can make this in advance. If you do, keep it in the refrigerator until just before serving.

If you have more people to serve its easy to adjust your recipe to 3 mangoes

1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar. And still the 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

 

I like to spoon the mangoes over the top cheesecake before serving, this makes a beautiful dessert but if you like you can serve mango compote individually over a generous slice of coconut cheesecake instead.
