Ingredients

  • For the base:
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) digestives/graham crackers crushed, measured after crushing
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • For the cheesecake:
  • 9 oz (255g) cream cheese, at room temperature*
  • 1/2 cup (165g) condensed milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) icing/powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • For the topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) diced fresh strawberries
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) diced fresh mango
  • 2 tbsp caster/white sugar

Instructions

  • Place the crushed digestives into a small bowl and pour over the melted butter. Stir until all the crumbs are coated in butter. Place 2tbsp of the biscuit mix into the bottom of four jars. I used 13oz Kilner jars.
  • Make the cheesecake layer: Place the cream cheese, condensed milk, salt, vanilla extract and sifted icing sugar into a medium sized bowl and whisk together until smooth. Add in the lemon juice and whisk until you feel it start to thicken slightly.
  • Place 2-3tbsp of the cheesecake mixture into each jar and gently coax it over the biscuit layer until it's entirely covered.
  • Place the diced strawberries, mangoes and sugar into a small bowl. Stir until all the fruit is covered in sugar. Leave for 30 seconds - 1 minute until the fruit is glossy and looks to have a "sauce"
  • Place 2tbsp of fruit mixture on top of the cheesecake layer in your jars. Now repeat the layers: 2tbsp biscuit mixture, 2-3tbsp cheesecake mixture, and then fill the remainder of the jar with the rest of the fruit. 
  • If you want more fruit - make 2 cups of strawberries and mangoes mixed with 2 1/2tbsp sugar. Totally your preference if you want it overloaded with fruit! I think the two even layers are the perfect amount, but that's me.
  • Place in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving. You can also make ahead, cover and keep in the fridge for up to 1 day. Best served within 1 day.

Notes

*I used reduced fat cream cheese, you can use full fat or reduced in this recipe.
