5. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and airy.

6. Assemble: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Prepare topping (optional): Combine mango puree and dissolved gelatin, then pour over the top for a glossy finish.

8. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm and set.

9. Serve: Garnish with fresh mango slices or mint leaves before serving.
