Ingredients

250 gram packet plain sweet biscuits, finely crushed

125 gram butter, melted

250 gram packet cream cheese, at room temperature, chopped

395 gram can sweetened condensed milk

1/3 cup lemon juice

2 teaspoon lemon rind

1/4 cup just-boiled water

3 teaspoon gelatine

1 cup dairy whip, plus extra, to serve

400 gram can mangoes, drained on paper towel, plus extra mango, to serve

Method

1.In a medium bowl, combine biscuit crumbs and butter.

2.Press into a 20cm springform pan firmly, using a flat-bottomed glass. Chill for 20 minutes until firm.

3.Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in condensed milk, lemon juice and rind.

4.Add water to a small jug. Whisk in gelatine briskly with a fork until dissolved. Cool for 5 minutes. Beat into cheese mixture. Fold through Dairy Whip and mango.

5.Pour mixture over base. Chill for 3 hours or overnight until firm. Serve in wedges topped with extra mango. Accompany with extra Dairy Whip, if desired.

Crush biscuits in a food processor, or in a plastic bag using a rolling pin. It is imperative to beat the softened cream cheese well, to ensure a smooth end result. Gelatine and cream-cheese mixture should be combined when they are at a similar temperature, to prevent lumps forming.
