Are mangos low carb?
Mangos are not considered a low-carb fruit. While they are incredibly delicious and nutritious, they contain natural sugars, which contribute to their carbohydrate content. The exact carb count may vary depending on the size and ripeness of the mango, but on average, a medium-sized mango (about 165 grams) contains around 45 grams of carbohydrates.
Best types of mangos for a cheesecake
When choosing mangos for a cheesecake, you'll want ones that are sweet, flavorful, and have a smooth texture. Here are some popular mango varieties that work well in cheesecakes:
- Alphonso: Known as the "King of Mangoes," Alphonso mangoes are incredibly sweet, aromatic, and creamy. They have a smooth, non-fibrous texture that makes them perfect for blending into a smooth mango puree for your cheesecake filling.
- Ataulfo (Honey or Champagne Mango): Ataulfo mangoes are small, golden-yellow, and have a buttery, honey-like flavor. They are less fibrous than other varieties, making them an excellent choice for pureeing and incorporating into the cheesecake mixture.
- Keitt: Keitt mangoes are medium to large-sized with a mild, sweet taste and a less fibrous flesh. They are great for adding both sweetness and texture to the cheesecake.
- Tommy Atkins: Tommy Atkins mangoes are one of the most common varieties found in supermarkets. They have a sweet and slightly tangy flavor with a firm texture, which can add a pleasant chewiness to the cheesecake.
- Kent: Kent mangoes have a rich, sweet flavor and smooth, fiberless flesh. They work well for making mango puree and adding a tropical taste to your cheesecake.
Ingredients
- Almond flour - use finely ground almond flour.
- Desiccated coconut - unsweetened desiccated or coconut flakes.
- Sweeteners - we used low carb sweeteners with a brown monk fruit sweetener for the base and allulose for the cheesecake topping.
- Butter - melted
- Cream cheese - softened
- Cream - whipping cream
- Mango puree - blend fresh mangos, not tinned, in either a food processor or blender.
- Lime juice - adds a slight tartness to balance the sweetness of the mango.
How to make mini no bake mango cheesecake
We used a mini cheesecake tin, but you could use a paper lined muffin tin for this recipe too.
Mix the cheesecake base ingredients together.
Press down in a mini cheesecake pan and chill.
Mix the mango cheesecake fillings and fold in whipped cream.
Spoon on top of the base and chill until firm.
Storage
Transfer the mini mango cheesecakes to an airtight container. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent any other odors from affecting the flavor.
If you need to stack the mini cheesecakes in the container, place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
Mini mango cheesecakes stored in the refrigerator should generally be consumed within 3-4 days for the best taste and texture.
Freezing mini mango cheesecakes
If you need to store the mini mango cheesecakes for a more extended period, consider freezing them:
- Freezing: Wrap each individual mini mango cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap, and then place them in an airtight container or a freezer-safe resealable plastic bag. Alternatively, you can use a freezer-safe container with layers separated by parchment or wax paper.
- Freezer Shelf Life: Frozen mini mango cheesecakes can typically be kept in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. After that period, their quality may begin to decline.
- Thawing: When you're ready to enjoy the frozen mini mango cheesecakes, transfer them to the refrigerator and let them thaw slowly overnight. Avoid thawing them at room temperature, as it may cause condensation and compromise the texture.

Can I make this as a cake?
Angela Coleby
I have not tried it but I think you could add the mango to the cake mixture and it would work as a mango cake. Let me know how you get on with it.
