Corn starch gives the body to cake it will be very soft but will taste good.

Namaste. I am strict vegetarian like who loves egg free food. I love cheese cake but don’t buy it from market due to egg contents.
How can we modify this recipe make a cheese cake without mango, or a plain cheese cake?
Thanks

Majula ji,
I used “Kraft Philadelphia Regular Cream Cheese” to make Mango cheese cake. But, it was salty.
Plz tell me brand name and type of cream cheese you use to make cake.
Thanks & Regards
Anuradha

Manjula Jain
May 17, 2012 at 7:46 pmPayal,
You can replace cornstarch with arrowroot but not corn flour. You may use yogurt after taking out the water like for Shrikhand

2. Can I substitute mango with strawberry & if yes how much to use?
Manjula Jain
November 15, 2011 at 11:18 pmMaithireyi

August 30, 2011 at 10:17 amBhavika,
Double the ingredients for cheese filling that should work.
BEENA
August 11, 2011 at 1:20 pmCan you use the same recipe with Peaches?
Manjula Jain
August 11, 2011 at 3:09 pmBeena,
Yes I have made this using peaches and it works great.
Liane

sometimes there are some things that just can not be substituted and cream cheese is one of them. It is what defines a cheesecake. Fresh paneer doesn’t even come close ad it doesnt have the same consistancy, texture,etc… I think you’d be wasting time and ingredients to try as this will not turn out.
Amrita
August 1, 2011 at 12:54 pmHi Manjula Aunty,
I was wondering if cream cheese can be substituted with something else, maybe make fresh paneer and use that?
Thanks.
Amrita

July 12, 2011 at 7:46 amI made this recipe last week. We all loved it. My daughters absolutely loved it. They are begging me to do it again today. Thank you.

July 11, 2011 at 2:41 pmAunty,
This looks so yummy.Cant wait to try it soon. If I dont have a food processor can I make the filling and cracker base in a mixer-grinder. If not then what is the alternative.
Thanks
Manjula Jain
July 11, 2011 at 5:17 pmPriya,
Crackers you may do in mixer but mango and cream cheese just mix using a spoon, you do not want to whip the mango and cheese.
Liane
July 13, 2011 at 6:51 amPriya,
You might try a hand mixer on high to beat the cream cheese mixture… Using a blender would not produce a good result because the inside surface is too small and you won’t get a light fluffy filling. Instead of fresh mango, I bet trying it with a little mango pulp would be good as well!
Lavina
July 11, 2011 at 6:51 amHi Aunty,
I made this and taste-wise it came out perfect ( I had others try it as well!) but the look of it was not really so presentable. The crust didnt rise much on the sides and when I tried taking the cake out of the pan (used a regular cake pan), it crumbled into 4 pieces – I was trying to transfer it into a disposable tin so I could take it to a friend’s birthday. Please help as I am not sure what went wrong.
Thanks,
Lavina
Manjula Jain
July 11, 2011 at 11:29 amLavina,
In this recipe crust doesn’t rise stays the same and you can not pick up the whole cake in one piece you need to slice them and then pick up slice by slice.

June 27, 2011 at 6:48 amDear Aunty,
I also tried the recipe, everything came out well except the biscuits got burned on the sides. i used the middle tray….is there anyway i can avoid the biscuits from getting burnt?…would be it too much butter? how much would 1/3 cup butter be in grams?…
thanks much, best, D
ps also have tried yr apple crumble many many times 🙂 thanks..everyone loves it and its so easy and fast….once i ran out of oatmeal and used biscuits and raisins *with walnuts and it also came out really well..
spoorthy
July 1, 2011 at 11:14 amHi,
To avoid burning of the biscuits at the bottom of the cake pan–use a bundt cake pan and cover the sides of the pan with alluminium foil .Now place the alluminium foil covered bundt cake pan in a big oven safe tray half way filled with water and bake the cheese cake.
If my instructions are confusing-It is shown in food network,you can watch the video.
spoorthy
July 12, 2011 at 6:29 amSorry for the mistake.It is not a bundt cake pan.It is a springform pan tha you need to use.
Chandni
June 25, 2011 at 9:51 pmAunty, I made this yesterday. But when I served it, I noticed that the graham crust had burnt and was black at the bottom. Could you tell me why this happened? I followed your instructions carefully.
The mango cheesecake top was fine though.
Manjula Jain
June 25, 2011 at 9:57 pmChandni,
May be you baked the cake on lower rack of oven.

June 23, 2011 at 3:21 pmLove mango in anyway…and this cheesecake with that awesome presentation looks decadent n sinfully yummy…wow aunty…
Neeta
June 23, 2011 at 3:01 pmPlacing the pan with the cheesecake in a tray of water and then, placing this in the oven helps bake it evenly without browned edges and prevents center portion from falling in.
Neeta
June 23, 2011 at 2:59 pmI generally place my cheese cake in a tray of water to cut the browning of the edges and to not let it fall in. Hope this idea helps.
Chandni
June 22, 2011 at 9:57 amWonderful recipe! Every time my friends make it, they add gelatin, so I can’t eat it.
Now, I’m so happy I can make eggless cheesecake. Thank you Manjula aunty.

sarika
June 21, 2011 at 12:24 pmHello, aunty
can i use corn flour in this receipe? and where do i get this cream cheese is it a regular cheese which i use in pizza?
Shivani
June 21, 2011 at 1:03 pmCorn starch and corn flour are one and the same thing as far as I know. Cream cheese you can find in the dairy section of the store where they put butter. It is different from the regular cheese which we use in pizza.
Cream Cheese can be find in different varieties:- Plain, Herbs, garlic etc in this case I think Plain Cream Cheese should be used.
Manjula Jain
June 21, 2011 at 1:14 pmSarika,
Corn flour will not work but you can use Arrowroot.
sarika
June 22, 2011 at 5:38 amthanks aunty.
Angel
June 21, 2011 at 1:44 pmSarika,
I have heard that Corn starch is referred to as corn-flour in other countries. And it’s not “flour” of corn so to say. For example if you are looking to buy “corn-starch” in India you will go and ask for “corn-flour”. And you should be able to use it in this recipe. Do check for these things when you bring it home, it should be extremely fine white powder. This used mainly as a binding or thickening flour in Indo-chinese and also in vegan cooking.
In the U.S you refer to “corn flour” as “corn meal” and the other binding agent that we use is the “corn starch”. Hope this helped some instead of confusing you more:)
heta
June 21, 2011 at 3:29 pmhey girls.. corn flour is the flour of corns ; while corn starch is the fine powdered form of the center part of corn and its literally a starch so can only be replaced by arrowroot but not corn flour…
thanks for the recipe aunty…
NSJ
June 21, 2011 at 5:18 pmSarika,
You’re absolutely right. Cornstarch, that we get in the US, is the same as Cornflour which is a very fine white powder, that we get in India. Corn flour is Maize flour and that is yellow in color and is different.
