    1. I don't know how much ingredients to add for a 9 inch tin. But if you still made it in that size it will still work but have a shorter cheesecake.

    1. No, you can add it on immediately but don't make the jelly topping until you need it as it sets quickly.

    1. Hi Mandy, tried your recipe and it really taste good. But my sisters in laws said my cheesecake too soft, like i didn't put in any gelatin. Said cheesecake suppose to be harder, more tangy. Does the texture of the cake suppose to be soft or did i do anything wrong?

    2. Hi Zanne, a non bake cheesecake should be of a mousse texture and gelatine is added to hold it together not for it to be firm like agar agar texture. I'm guessing your sister in law is referring the taste to a baked cheesecake where it's more creamier and tangy in taste. If you like to try a baked you can taste the difference.

    2. Hi Jessica,
      Soak the gelatine in the lemon juice and leave for few mins, then you need to dissolve it, you can do this by palcing the gelatine over hot water or short bursts in the microwave until it becomes liquid.
      Best beat with electric whisk.

    1. Absoultely, but you might have to adjust the sweetness as blueberries are not as strong flavoured as mango.

  8. To dissolve the gelatine do we just keep the bowl in hot water or keep the gelatine bowl directly in microwave?? How much time do we keep in hot water or microwave?

  11. Hi Mandy, your cheesecake is very nice. What type of whipping cream used? Dairy or non dairy? Any recomended brand of whipping cream?
    As for cream cheese used, is it ok with tataru cream cheese?
    For the mango puree, u use fresh mango or buy ready make mango puree? If fresh mango, just blend it will do?
    Kindly advice. TIA.

    1. Hi, I used fresh whipping cream from the supermarket and it is dairy. As I'm in uk, mangoes are not alway in season and even if it is, it's very expensive so I always use mango purée in a can. Hope that helps.
