Mango Cheese Cake

Velvety cheese cake with a mango topping

When you are in a mood to indulge and pamper yourselves , then is the right time to dig into this creamy beauty. ‘ A thing of beauty is a joy forever‘ is one quote I wouldn’t want to agree with in this case. If you are not minding your calories, it will not take much time for this cake to disappear. Cheese cake was something I was always scared of trying out. But this recipe which I tried out after some twists, turned out so easy and good that I have decided to make this again as early as possible but with another flavor. The smooth velvety texture of the cake just melts in your mouth. The sweet and tangy flavors combine beautifully to make this dessert extra delicious….
