  9. Anuradha Agarwal

    Hi,
    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

  10. shruti

  11. Payal

    hello ,
    I am sorry I couldn’t understand what is this cream cheese and also if cornstarch means cornflour right and can i replace this with yoghurt

    1. Manjula Jain

      Payal,
      You can replace cornstarch with arrowroot but not corn flour. You may use yogurt after taking out the water like for Shrikhand

      1. aanchal

        by what quantity do we substitute cornstarch with yoghurt?

  12. iqbal

  20. Kriti

    Hello Aunty,

    The cheesecake looks amazin!

    What should be the quantity of strawberries for the cheesecake, keepin rest of the ingredients in the same proportions?

  21. Maithireyi

    Hi Auntyji.. Wonderful recipe & awesome presentation.. I just have few doubts –
    1. Can I make this with mango pulp & if yes how much to use?
    2. Can I substitute mango with strawberry & if yes how much to use?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Maithireyi
      I have never made this cake with using pulp, but I have used strawberry keep the same measurement as mango showed in recipe.

  22. Christin

    Manjula Aunty,
    Can I use mango pulp?If so, how much to substitute for 1 large mango? In Oz if possible please?

  23. bhavika

    hi aunty,
    how can i make a cheese cake without any fruit? what can be the substitute to it?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Bhavika,
      Double the ingredients for cheese filling that should work.

  24. BEENA

    Can you use the same recipe with Peaches?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Beena,
      Yes I have made this using peaches and it works great.

  25. Liane

    Amrita,
    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.

  26. Amrita

    Hi Manjula Aunty,

    I was wondering if cream cheese can be substituted with something else, maybe make fresh paneer and use that?

    Thanks.
    Amrita

  27. Pooja

    Hi Aunty,

    Thank you for the recipe. i wanted to know what is creme cheese? is it readily avaialble in India? do we have some other substitute for it?

    thanks

  28. Saroja

    I 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.

  29. Priya

    Aunty,

    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

    1. Manjula Jain

      Priya,
      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.

    2. Liane

      Priya,
      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!

  30. Lavina

    Hi 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

    1. Manjula Jain

      Lavina,
      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.

  31. Dechen

    Dear 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..

    1. spoorthy

      Hi,

      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.

      1. spoorthy

        Sorry for the mistake.It is not a bundt cake pan.It is a springform pan tha you need to use.

  32. Chandni

    Aunty, 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.

    1. Manjula Jain

      Chandni,
      May be you baked the cake on lower rack of oven.

  33. lakshmi

    Hi,

    I wanted to know if instead of baking , can we refrigerate it? I am planning to prepare this cake for some guests during the weekend.

    thanks

    1. Manjula Jain

      Lakshmi,
      You will need to bake

  34. divya

    Hello Aunty
    from where can we buy unsalted butterand in wat brand
    wat is graham?

  35. Sanyukta

    Love mango in anyway…and this cheesecake with that awesome presentation looks decadent n sinfully yummy…wow aunty…

  36. Neeta

    Placing 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.

  37. Neeta

    I 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.

  38. Chandni

    Wonderful 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.

  39. Tina

    I dont have a food processor ,can i use a mixy instead.

  40. swann2b

    This looks so delicious. Will be trying recipe soon. Thank you Auntie !

  41. Chetaki

    Aunty thanks a lot for your rceipes, i have used your receipes to celebrate my kids birthday parties, Baklava Rolls and Rasmalai came out realy good, could you please show us receipe of parval ki mittai

  42. sarika

    Hello, 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?

    1. Shivani

      Corn 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.

    2. Manjula Jain

      Sarika,
      Corn flour will not work but you can use Arrowroot.

      1. sarika

        thanks aunty.

    3. Angel

      Sarika,

      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:)

      1. heta

        hey 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…

        1. NSJ

          Sarika,
          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.
          NSJ

          1. NSJ

            Oops.. I meant Angel – you’re absolutely right!! 🙂

    4. Chandni

      Sarika, philadelphia cream cheese is available at Walmart, Safeway, etc.

  43. vani
