Ingredients
- 15-16 marigold biscuits (or digestive biscuits or graham crackers)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 126 gram Cream Cheese (we used Philadelphia)
- 180 gram Cream (we used Amul 25% fat)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup mango puree
- 5 gram agar agar strips (or 1 tbsp if agar agar is in powdered form)
- 1/2 cup water
- Glazed cherries for garnish
- Mint leaves for decoration
Instructions
STEP 1
- Take marigold biscuits and put them in a grinder jar. In place of marigold, you can use graham crackers or digestive biscuits as well.
- Grind them to a coarse powder. Alternatively you can put them in some ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Take melted butter and pour it into the biscuits crush.
- Mix well.
- Take serving glasses (if making individual servings) or springform pan lined with aluminium foil. We are making the individual servings.
- Spread the crush at the base and press it for a smooth and firm surface.
- Put the glasses in refrigerator untill further needed.
STEP 2
- Take a bowl and add cream cheese, cream and powdered sugar.
- Whisk them well until uniform and creamy. You can use hand whisk or hand blender as well. Keep aside.
STEP 3
- Take a microwave safe bowl and add agar agar with water in it. See notes below if you don't have.
- Mix them first.
- Then microwave for 2 minutes (pause at intervals and stir) until agar agar is completely dissolved. If you don't have microwave, you can dissolve the agar agar in a pan on gas stove.
- Add mango pulp in the melted agar agar.
- Give them a good mix.
- Now add half of the mango pulp + agar agar mixture in the cream cheese mixture and reserve the rest.
- Mix the cream cheese mixture very well.
- Take the glasses and add cream cheese mixture over the biscuit crush. Fill the glass leave a bit of space for topping.
- Level the cream cheese mixture too.
- Again put the glasses in refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
- After 30 minutes, take the glasses out and pour the top layer with mango pulp (remember, which was half left, a mixture of pulp & agar agar)
- Level them too for smooth top. Do this gently so that it doesn't combine with the second layer.
- Again put the glasses in refrigerator overnight and serve chilled after garnishing, the way you like.
Notes
Agar agar or china grass is the vegan substitute of non vegetarian gelatin. And agar agar comes in two forms: strips & powdered. This recipe uses strips. If using powdered agar agar or gelatin, then mix 1 tbsp of agar agar/gelatin with 1/4 cup water and mix well until dissolved.
