Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup ripe mango puree (approximately 2 medium ripe mangoes)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons gelatin (or a vegetarian substitute)

4 tablespoons cold water

For topping:

Fresh mango slices

Fresh mint leaves

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined and resemble wet sand. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a silicone coin mold or individual tartlet pans to create an even layer. Place in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the crust to set.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until completely smooth and free of lumps. Add the plain Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the mixture is creamy and fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.

      Incorporate Mango: Gently pour the mango puree and fresh lime juice into the cheesecake mixture. Using a spatula or the mixer on low speed, blend until the mango is fully combined and the mixture is smooth in consistency.

        Prepare Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes until it becomes spongy. After blooming, heat it gently in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just until dissolved. Let it cool for a minute before incorporating it into the cheesecake filling.

          Combine Gelatin: Gradually pour the dissolved gelatin into the cheesecake mixture, stirring continuously to ensure it is fully integrated, while maintaining the smooth texture of the filling.

            Assemble the Coins: Retrieve the crusts from the freezer. Spoon the mango cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula to ensure an even surface. Lightly tap the molds or pans on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles trapped in the filling.

              Freeze: Carefully place the filled molds back into the freezer and allow them to set for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely firm to the touch.

                Serve: Once set, gently release the cheesecake coins from the silicone molds or pans. Arrange them on a serving platter, topping each with fresh mango slices and garnishing with mint leaves for an added burst of color and freshness.

                  Enjoy: For the best texture, let the cheesecake coins sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
