Heh, as I got bored of eating the plain old sponge cheesecake, someone suggested ‘hey why not add a little flavour to it?’ Well, one of my lovely baking buddy made us a no bake mango cheesecake and it was absolute delicious (although she did complain she added too much gelatin and made the base abit too hard to bite).
But I got myself and oven! And yes I decided to fully utilize it. My other half loves Japanese sponge cheesecake so off I went.
The thought of being health conscious has always been there so the proud past of this recipe is that it’s much healthier than the normal Japanese sponge cheesecakes. I replaced the milk and lemon juice for yogurt as it gives the same tangy smooth flavour (as well as I wanted to incorporate as much mango flavour as I can).
