Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the cheesecake:

16 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup ripe mango puree (about 2 medium ripe mangoes)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons gelatin (or vegetarian substitute)

4 tablespoons cold water

For topping:

Fresh mango slices

Mint leaves

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a silicone coin mold or tartlet pans to form an even layer. Chill in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to set.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and well incorporated.

      Incorporate Mango: Pour in the mango puree and lime juice into the cheesecake mixture, mixing until completely blended.

        Prepare Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. After blooming, gently heat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly before adding.

          Combine Gelatin: Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the cheesecake filling, mixing continuously until fully integrated.

            Assemble: Remove the crust from the freezer. Spoon the mango cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

              Freeze: Place the filled molds back in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely set.

                Serve: Once set, gently release the cheesecake coins from the molds. Top with fresh mango slices and garnish with mint leaves for a pop of color.

                  Enjoy: Allow the coins to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
