Our mango cheesecake is a no bake, eggless dessert, which consists of 4 layers, and not very difficult to make. This recipe is no bake, which helps to retain the golden colour of the mangoes, and is eggless, which is suitable for vegetarians.
The bottom layer is the crust made of butter and cookies. The second layer consists of mango purée with cream and cream cheese. The third layer is just cream and cream cheese. While the fourth and topmost layer is a thin mango jelly topping.
The topmost jelly layer increases the flavour of the mangoes, and adds a beautiful overall look to the cheesecake. And what’s more – All of these layers give a very different flavour with every bite!
To get the best flavour in a cheesecake, always use full fat cream and cream cheese. Unlike baked cheesecakes, which tend to be a little heavy, this cheesecake is light and fluffy!
Finish off the cheesecake with chopped mangoes, blueberries and mint leaves on top!

The Victoria Sponge cake, famously named after Queen Victoria, who ruled England from 1 May 1876 until 22 January 1901, was so called, since she was famous for enjoying these small cakes with her afternoon tea.
At that time in England, the most popular cake was the pound cake, which was made with equal parts of flour, butter, eggs and sugar.
The sponge cake gained popularity after the invention of the baking powder by Alfred Bird in 1843, which allowed the cakes to rise higher than previously possible.
Queen Victoria is known to have enjoyed her cakes with jam alone, but over time, these cakes started to be made with jam and cream.
Our recipe of the Victoria Sponge Cake is 2 layers of cakes with a layer of cream, strawberry jam and strawberries in between, and topped with more cream and fruits. Continue reading “Victoria Sponge Cake”
