NO BAKE MANGO CHEESE CAKE / NO BAKE MANGO CAKE / EGG-LESS NO BAKE MANGO CAKE

This mango no bake cake is very simple and delicious to make and one of the hit summer recipe. 

Mango with hit of curd sourness not only balances the taste but makes it really yum. 

My kids not only loves strawberry no bake cake but they are great fan of this chilled cake too.
  
Many recipes call for paneer to replace cheese-cake but I personally don't like that taste so I made it only with curd and mango puree.

This recipe has only one difficult part, that is, to set the gelatin properly. Many people add gelatin directly in the batter, which I feel is not the correct way as curd is generally cold and after adding hot gelatin in it, gelatin forms lump, due to which cake doesn't set firm and nice.

So, for perfect no bake cake I will advice to cook the gelatin with mango puree and then add in curd-condensed milk mix. This will give you firm shape.

For Base Layer:

10-15 or 1.5 cup digestive biscuits

1/2 cup melted butter (I used salted Amul butter)

1 cup hung curd

1 cup milkmaid or powdered sugar

1 cup mango puree

2 tbsp gelatin or agar-agar

1/2 cup mango pulp

2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp lemon juice

a drop of orange food color
