Ingredients

For the sponge cake
1 Eggless Sponge Cake

For the cheesecake mixture
1 recipe cream cheese
2 mangoes, peeled and cut into pieces
4 tbsp thick curds (dahi)
1/2 cup cream
3/4 cup castor sugar

To be mixed into a soaking syrup
1 cup water
1 tbsp sugar

For the garnish
a few mango slices

Method

For the sponge cake

Slice the sponge cake into two horizontally. Use only one layer of the sponge.
Use the other layer for the variation.

For the cheesecake mix

Liquidize the cream cheese, mango pieces, curds and sugar to a smooth puree in a blender..
Whip the cream till soft peaks form and mix gently with the mango mixture.

How to proceed

Place one layer of the sponge cake on the bottom of a loose bottomed 150 mm. (6") diameter cake tin.
Sprinkle the soaking syrup over the sponge.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the sponge and refrigerate till set. Unmould from the tin.
Serve chilled garnished with mango slices.

Tips

Hang curds in a muslin cloth for 10 -15 minutes to get thick curds.
For a larger crowd, use the other slice of sponge cake and make another cheesecake.
Variation : MANGO ICE-CREAM GATEAU :
With the remaining layer of sponge, make a mango ice-cream gateau by first soaking the sponge with the soaking syrup.
And then topping with scoops of vanilla ice-cream and finely chopped pieces of mango.
