Preparation

Step 1

For crust, preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, graham crumbs and coconut with sugar and lime zest. Stir in melted butter and blend until even and crumbly. Press into the bottom and an inch up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch (10-inch better) springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until browned around edges and allow to cool. Wrap bottom of pan with foil and place in a baking dish that has at least a 2-inch lip. Reduce oven temperature to 300 F.

To prepare fruit filling, melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add mangoes, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, ginger and nutmeg. Saute for 5-6 minutes, until fruit is tender and juices have evaporated. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and spread into bottom of baked crust.

For cheesecake filling, beat cream cheese in a mixer until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl often. Add sugar, flour and salt and beat again scraping down the sides often. Mix in mango puree, sour cream, lime juice and vanilla and blend well. At this point, there should be no lumps - if there are, beat again until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping bowl thoroughly. Pour cheesecake into prepared pan.

For mango swirl, whisk together mango puree, sugar and egg yolk. Drizzle or spoon over cheesecake, and with a skewer swirl the puree through. Take cheesecake in baking dish to oven door. Pour boiling water around pan to come up halfway. Bake for 1.5 hours. Halfway through cooking, crack the oven door for 10 minutes then complete cooking. Turn off oven, crack oven door, and let cheesecake cool to room temperature. Chill overnight in springform pan.

To serve, run a paring knife around the edge of the cheesecake and remove ring.
