Vegan No-bake mango cheesecake topped with mango jelly is an irresistible yet easy sweet summer treat made with agar and is an eggless dessert that your family would definitely love for sure. Mangoes are in season and are so versatile to work with any dessert or sweet recipes.
Last week we ordered a carton of mangoes through a friend from India. It was a box full of Kesar mangoes and were very sweet and delicious mangoes. In spite of my daughters eating the mangoes as such, I save a couple of them to try some recipes. Guess what, this cheesecake is one of the sweet dessert recipes that I wanted to try.
The vegan no-bake mango cheesecake is made with a crust of digestive cookie crumbs topped with vegan cashew nut mango cream and the final topping of mango jelly layer. However is you want to make it purely raw and vegan you could use the dried nuts and dates as the crust.
Every single slice of cheesecake tasted awesome and no one guessed that it was vegan therefore from next time onwards I probably will be using the healthy dates and nuts layer to make it a complete guilt-free dessert.
This cheesecake cake was for a get-together party and that’s why no pictures of inside. However, I did had some leftover slices from the party but it was already very late in the night and I was too lazy to click them. Maybe some other time I would update the recipe with inside clicks. I only had a 12″ springform pan and I used the same and as a result, the layers aren’t as thick as they should be in an 8″ pan.
Try this no bake starwbery cheesecake if you are looking for more flavors.

Thats a tremendous cheesecake with cashew cheese filling, interesting vegan version. Kesar mangoes from India, you are very lucky.
Oh yes this is exactly what I made as well..so inviting Sapana..
The vegan filling sounds too good. I haven’t personally tried cashew cream but I think it is so rich in taste..
That is such a rich and decadent vegan cheesecake. It looks so creamy and delicious.
