Can I make a no-bake mango cheesecake without gelatin?

Yes, you absolutely can. This no bake mango cheesecake recipe sets beautifully using just whipped cream and cream cheese. If you want a slightly firmer texture, use agar-agar powder as a plant-based alternative, but it’s totally optional.

How can I make this cheesecake vegan or dairy-free?

To make a vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese (like almond- or cashew-based options) and swap heavy cream for whipped coconut cream. The crust can be made with vegan cookies and coconut oil. This recipe adapts well to plant-based swaps without losing its creamy charm.

How can I make the crust gluten-free or use an alternative base?

Gluten-free cookies or graham-style crackers work perfectly. You can also make a nut-and-date crust like in our date chocolate bark for a naturally sweet twist. Just blend, press, and chill.

Should I use fresh mangoes or canned mango pulp, and what variety is best?

Fresh mangoes like Alphonso or Ataulfo bring great flavor and texture, but canned Kesar mango pulp is excellent year-round. For convenience and consistent results, I often use canned—but if fresh mangoes are in season, I never skip them.
