Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while you make the filling.

      Make the cheesecake filling:

        In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until well incorporated.

          Add mango flavor:

            Stir in the mango puree and lemon juice. Mix until the filling is smooth and a uniform color.

              Dissolve gelatin:

                In a small bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Microwave the mixture for about 10-15 seconds until it's liquid (don’t let it boil). Incorporate it into the cheesecake filling, mixing thoroughly to combine.

                  Combine and chill:

                    Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until set.

                      Garnish and serve:

                        Once set, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with fresh mango slices, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, and garnish with mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
