kyton - Lovely - husband and in laws both loved it. I used Granita biscuits and used a whole 250gm packet as well as doubled the butter. Didn't look anywhere enough crumb for my springform tin.

MF - Had this yesterday as one of my Christmas desserts. Everyone loved it and said I should have made 2. It was absolutely delicious. Topping started to melt but it was extremely hot here yesterday. Maybe a little more gelatine needed as my mangoes were very big and very juicy. Wish there was leftovers'

dhitri - My cheesecake was delish but crumbled (or should I say: melted?). I think it might have been the agar I used to substitute gelatine. I just read today that agar has a much higher melting point than gelatine. Might have to experiment a little with dissolving the agar in a sauce pan, then mix with warm as opposed to cold mango cheesecake puree before adding cream and pouring into tin...
