Ingredients

Brownie crust:

  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Filling:

  • 8 oz ricotta cheese well drained
  • cup sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • zest of 1 orange

Topping:

  • 2 mango peeled and cubed
  • ¼ cup icing sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime
  • Seasonal fruits to decorate

Instructions

For the brownie crust:

  • In a microwavable bowl, put chocolate chunks and butter and microwave for 3 mins over med power, stirring every 30 secs. Allow to cool.
  • Fold into the bowl sugar and eggs, one at a time, whisking well until smooth. Add vanilla and cocoa, then fold in the flour and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into a 9x9 baking pan covered with aluminium foil. Bake in a preheated oven to 350F/180C for 35 mins, you will see the brownies pulling away from the edges of the pan. Set aside to cool, then gently remove the top layer with a knife, and cut 6 small circles ( the same size of your ramekins). Set aside until needed.

For the Ricotta filling:

  • In a large bowl whisk energetically together the ricotta with sugar and zest of orange & lemon.
  • Cover 6 small muffin tins with plastic wrap and arrange a disk of brownie crust on each, gently pressing down to the bottom.
  • Evenly divide the ricotta filling into the tins, leaving 1cm space on top.
  • Put into the freezer while you make the mango puree.

For the mango puree:

  • Blend mango cubes with sugar and lime juice, adding 1 tablespoon water if the mixture is too thick.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl.
  • Cover each cheesecake with the mango puree and refrigerate until set, about 2h or overnight.
  • Gently remove from the muffin tin and decorate with fresh fruits and chocolate. Enjoy!
