I love mango-flavored everything and have ever since I was a kid. Out of all the mango desserts I’ve eaten, I have to tell you that this mango treat… takes the cake. 😉
The Easiest Mango Cheesecake Instant Pot Recipe
This mango cheesecake is the easiest recipe EVER. Not only does it call for just 3-ingredients, but you make it in an instant pot! Just pour and cook.
Thousands of blog readers have made this mango cheesecake (just do a search in my FB group!) and everyone raves about how simple and delicious this cake is.
3 Ingredient Cheesecake
I’d tell you that you’d never guess the ingredients in this dessert, but hopefully, you’ve seen my 2-ingredient cheesecake recipe by now and already know what this magical cheesecake is made out of. If not, here are the 3 ingredients:
- Condensed Milk: I use organic condensed milk which is sweetened. Please do not substitute with evaporated or unsweetened milk.
- Greek Yogurt: I use whole milk, full-fat Greek Yogurt when making this cheesecake. I find the thicker yogurt helps since we’re thinning it out a bit with the mango pulp.
- Canned Mango Pulp: I like this brand for canned mango pulp – it’s organic mango pulp without any extra sugar added. My Indian grocery store happens to carry it, but you can get it on amazon too. If you use a different mango pulp, the overall cheesecake will likely be sweeter – not a bad thing, just something to keep in mind.
- Optional Crust: You can easily add a crust to this cake if you’d like. I’ve included directions on adding a crust to the recipe card, as well as to the video. I’ve made this cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, a nut and date crust, and an oatmeal cookie crust.
Feel free to play around with this recipe (to an extent). So many people in my Instant Pot Indian FB group have made this using different purees, fruit-flavored yogurt, fun toppings, etc.
How to Prepare Eggless Mango Cheesecake with Only 3 Ingredients
Here’s a video of me making a lemon cheesecake – it’s pretty much the same process as this mango cheesecake:
This recipe is only slightly different from my 2-ingredient cheesecake recipe. In my original recipe, you can use any whole milk yogurt, but for this mango cheesecake, I highly recommend using whole milk Greek yogurt. It is thicker and works better in this recipe since we are also adding a fruit puree.
Can you use a regular cheesecake pan in an Instant Pot?
Yes! As long as it fits in your instant pot. A 6-inch cheesecake pan or a 7-inch cheesecake pan fits perfectly in a 6 quart instant pot.
Can I use a regular cake pan instead of a springform?
I get this question often and actually, I don’t recommend using a springform pan because cheesecake batter tends to leak from this type of pan. I haven’t tried using a regular cake pan to make this, but think it’d be a better option than a springform due to leaks. I know blog readers have used everything from silicone egg bites to ramekins to pyrex dishes when making this cheesecake so as long as it’s oven-proof, it should be fine to use in an instant pot. I do highly suggest using a cheesecake pan though.
Recommended Products
Is it better to use fresh mangoes or canned mango pulp for the recipe?
I prefer to use mango pulp – it’s cooked down, whereas fresh mangoes may be a bit more watery and could affect the texture.
My recipe calls for canned mango pulp/puree, but you should be able to use any canned fruit puree. This cheesecake will turn out to be a pretty light yellow, but for an extra pop of color and flavor, be sure to pour extra puree on top before serving!
How to Store Cheesecake?
This mango cheesecake freezes really well! This is especially great news for me at the moment because even though I made this last week, I am eating a slice right now for breakfast… because it’s my birthday! And really, is there a better day to eat cake for breakfast? I think not. This cheesecake… is my gift to you 😉 Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk (sweetened)
- 1 cup whole milk greek yogurt full-fat
- ¼ cup canned mango pulp
- optional additions: cardamom powder, saffron, nuts for garnish
- Oil or butter for greasing
Optional Crust Recipes (use the crust of your choice or go crustless):
Graham Cracker Crust
- 10 graham cracker sheets (gluten-free works too!) 155 grams/5.45 ounces
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
Date and Nut Crust:
- 1 cup nuts
- 5 dates roughly chopped
Oatmeal Cookie Crust:
- ½ cup rolled oats I buy gluten free oats from trader joes
- ¼ cup pecans
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Optional Crust Recipes (use the crust of your choice or go crustless):
- To make the Graham Cracker Crust: Process the graham crackers in a food processor to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and pulse until moist. Press the crumbs into the bottom of a well-greased 6-inch cheesecake pan or 7-inch cheesecake pan with a removable bottom (you can use cooking spray or butter to grease the pan – make sure to get the sides of the pan too!).
- To make the date-nut crust: add the nuts and dates to a blender and blend until it turns into a sticky, crumbly mixture. Add this mixture to the greased cheesecake pan with a removable bottom and press down to smooth it out.
- To make the oatmeal cookie crust: Blend all of the ingredients together in a food processor until well combined. Press the crust onto the bottom of a greased 6-inch (or 7 inch) cheesecake pan with a removable bottom.
To make the Cheesecake:
- Add the condensed milk, yogurt and mango puree to a bowl and mix well.
- Pour the mixture on top of the crust (if using) or straight into a greased 6-inch or 7-inch cheesecake pan (with a removable bottom), then cover the pan with foil.
- Add 2 cups water into the steel inner pot, then place the trivet/wire rack that came with your pressure cooker into the pot. Place the pan on top of the rack.
- Secure the lid, close pressure valve, and cook for 30 minutes at high pressure.
- Naturally release pressure for 20 minutes, then release any remaining pressure (do not leave the cheesecake sitting in the pot). Stick a toothpick into the cheesecake and if it comes out clean, it’s done. If it’s still wet, pressure cook the cake for another 2 minutes.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool down on a wire rack. I find it easiest to unmold the cheesecake while slightly warm.
- Put the cheesecake in the fridge to chill for 4-6 hours.
- Pour some mango puree on top of the cake right before serving. It adds a nice pop of color!
Notes
- Since this recipe calls for a puree, I suggest using whole milk greek yogurt rather than regular whole milk yogurt because greek is thicker. If you have regular whole milk yogurt then you can use a sieve to separate some of the whey from the yogurt before measuring.
- This is best when chilled (in my opinion) but you can also eat this warm or at room temperature as a pudding if you like. It will only taste like cheesecake after it has chilled. If you eat it warm, it will taste like a custard.
- You can freeze this cheesecake! It tastes great when thawed but I’ve found they are a bit more crumbly. Still delicious though!
- You can also make individual cheesecakes using ramekins – find those directions in this blog post.
Curdled cheesecake says
Hi, my cheesecake keeps coming out curdled and grainy, almost like a squishy paneer. Any suggestions? Should I cook it less or on lower heat? I have a non branded instant pot
NS says
Ashley, do you add cardamom as a topping or to the batter. How much do you recommend we add?
Mithra says
This is such a delicious cake. Love it. ❤️
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Mithra 🙂
Indresh Kaur says
Hi Ashley, can I use fresh mango puree instead of can puree.
Tania says
Hi Ashley, this looks great. Do you know if it would work with dairy free yogurt and df condensed coconut milk? Thanks
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Tania, I’ve tried to make a dairy-free version using these ingredients, and it doesn’t work, I’m sorry!
Tania says
Thanks so much for your reply, how disappointing it dosn’t work. Glad I didn’t have to try myself though 😊
Vaishali says
Can I use 12cm *H 4.8cm spring form pan ? Pls suggest.
Chandana says
How will it turn out if I double the ingredients? A bit nervous! A quick response will be greatly appreciated!
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Chandana, I haven’t tried doubling this so I’m not sure but I’d think it would require a longer cook time. Please let us know how it goes if you experiment!
Prachi Javale says
Hello Ashley,
I hope you are doing well. I would like to make mango cheesecake. I have 18 guests at party. Should I double the recipe and make one vertically heighted cake? Or should I make 2 cakes?
Would you please make a video for Gulab jamun cheesecake also along mango cheesecake?
Thank you for the amazing recipes.
Prachi
Mary Spensley says
This looks fabulous, but I’m 70, and only buying what needs replacing. Downsizing too. So, how do I make this without an instapot? There must be a way in a regular oven. Advice?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Mary, some readers have told me they’ve made this using a water bath in the oven – you can try that way 🙂
Pervin Jassawalla says
Yesterday made your mango cheesecake Ashley……had it on my wish list but somehow kept procrastinating. So glad I made it! It turned out yummy! Thank you for your easy and quick recipes👍🏻🙏🏼😋❤️
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Pervin, that’s awesome! Happy to hear that you made it and liked it so much 🙂
Abby says
Could I make a graham cracker crust if my pan doesn’t have a removable bottom? I usually flip and dump onto a cake plate. I’m wondering if I could press the crust on top after cooking and cooling the cake?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Abby, I would not recommend dumping this onto a cake plate – I would think this cake would break if you tried to do that. I’m sure you can press the crust on but then the other side of the cheesecake won’t look very good. I’d suggest following the recipe as written.
Rosy says
First time made this. It turned out very firm…what did I do wrong?
Rajinder says
Hi Ashley, how are you?
I made mango cheesecake today and it turned out yum!!!
Served with layer of mango puree and passion fruit, and mango kulfi.
Thank you for an amazing recipe.😊
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
That’s so great to hear! And those layers sound incredible – I love the passion fruit and mango combination, yum! Thank you for letting me know how this turned out for you 🙂
sneaky cat says
could i maybe use low fat yogurt too? would it come out maybe the same
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
I haven’t tried it with low-fat yogurt but I believe other readers have done so successfully. Let me know what you think if you try this 🙂
Janaki says
Hello
Thanks for the recepie.. how did u bring that mango glazing on top the cheese cake .. can u explain pls
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Janaki, I just poured the mango puree on top – that’s it 🙂
Aarti says
Hi Ashley
Can this be made in pressure cooker ? If yes how many whistles ?
Thanks
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Aarti, I have only tried this in an electric pressure cooker (instant pot) so I’m not sure about the number of whistles. Hopefully another reader can help!
Sophie says
I must have not adjusted the time for smaller vessels and overcooked mine – the texture was quite grainy. Probably a little too sweet for me to bother trying again. It was fun to try something new though! 🙂
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Ah yes, if you overcook it, then it will become grainy, and the texture will be offputting. If you try it again, let me know!
Pooja says
Hey Ashley
I have made mango cheesecake many times in IP and it’s so amazing.
Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Please can you suggest the time and heat if I want to make a double size in oven? Thanks
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Pooja, I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for letting me know how much you like the cheesecake 🙂 I haven’t tried making this in an oven but some people in my FB group (Instant Pot for Indian Food) have successfully made it by baking at 350F for 30 minutes. I’m not sure about doubling the recipe though. You can try asking in the group if you’d like!
Josie deGreef says
I have a sweetened mango puree. Can I use something other than sweetened condensed milk? I’m worried the end result will be too sweet. Thanks for you help.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Josie, I’ve only tested this with sweetened condensed milk – hopefully another reader will be able to chime in!
Kiran says
I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for 2 years but only got round to making it today. It was worth the wait as it was amazing. Made it with fresh kesar mango and half the quantity of condensed milk with a digestive biscuit and almond base. Will definitely be making this again. Thank you for a fantastic recipe.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Kiran, I’m so glad you made it and liked it! Thank you for letting me know how it turned out for you 🙂 And great to know it worked out with half the milk – wow!
Rebecca says
How do you make the pistachio crust you showed in the video?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Rebecca, I have a couple optional crust recipes in the recipe card at the bottom – just 1 cup of nuts and 1 cup of dates 🙂
Sritha says
Hi Ashley, Should I leave the cake uncovered in the refrigerator? Could be a silly question, I never cooked/baked a cheesecake. Thank you 🙂
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Sritha, if you’re chilling the cake so it’s ready to eat, then yes I leave it uncovered. If you’re storing leftovers, then I would put it in an airtight container. Hope you love the cake!
Parul Patel says
Thanks Ashley for sharing.
My whole family love Mango cheese cake, super easy.I didn’t know we can make cheese cake w/o cheese.
I tried Walnut and dates crust and graham crackers crust also.Both are good but I like Walnut and dates crust, because of nutty taste goes with manoge flavor very well.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Parul! I’m so happy to hear that you and your family loved the cheesecake 🙂 Thank you for letting me know how it turned out!
Preetha says
I think you already received so much kudos for this recipe that you probably don’t need to hear more! This is truly fantastic, especially for those who love the flavor of mangoes! It was easy to make and with just three ingredients, it doesn’t get easier!
The only thing was I had to cook it for a couple extra minutes. I’d definitely recommend this recipe!
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Preetha! Happy to hear that you like this recipe so much 🙂
SAMPREETHA GOVINDANKUTTY says
Thank you Ashley for an easy and wonderful recipe, I made the mango cheesecake yesterday for my husband’s birthday and was a big hit.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Sampreetha, that’s so great to hear! I hope your hubby had a wonderful birthday!
SR says
Made multiple time, always a hit.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
So happy to hear that 🙂
Surbhi Patel says
Hi Ashley,
I made this exactly like you said and it was awesome. I never made cakes before.. but this came out better than I expected.
Tomorrow I want to make at least double the quantity. Can I make it in the same container? Will the cool time differ ?
Thank you 😊
Surbhi Patel says
I meant the cooking time.. will it be different?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Surbhi, I’m so happy to hear that! 🙂 I haven’t tried doubling this recipe so I’m not sure – if you experiment, please let me know how it goes!
Gabbi says
Can I use mango nectar or mango juice instead of puree?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Gabbi, I think nectar or juice will be too liquidy – mango puree is a bit thicker.
Neeta says
Hi,
Can this be made in regular pressure cooker?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Neeta, I haven’t tried making this in a regular pressure cooker so I’m not sure – hopefully another reader can chime in.
Annie says
Hi Ashley! This recipe is a standard favorite in my family! Today I tried to double the recipe but kept it in my 7-in springform. I increase the pressure cooking time to 35 minutes. When I took it out I put a toothpick in the middle and it came out cleaned but it seems a bit more jiggly than normal. Do you think it will firm up in the fridge after a few hours or should I put it back in the IP for another 5 minutes?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Annie, I’m happy to hear this is a family favorite! I haven’t trouble doubling the cheesecake, but I would think it’d need a longer cook time. Did it turn out okay?
Dipali says
Hi asley
Can you pls show me how to make vegan cheese cake pls ? Without dairy product what we can use as ingredients ?
Thanks 🙏🏻
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi, I’ll add it to my list!

This is one of the easiest bakes I have ever made! So easy that I made it thrice in 3 weeks!

So happy to hear that! Love that you’ve made it 3x in 3 weeks!
Geetha Subramanian says
Followed the exact measurements mentioned in the recipe and it came out great. We loved the taste and texture . Thanks Ashley.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Geetha, I’m so glad you liked this recipe! Thank you for letting me know how it turned out for you 🙂
janki parekh says
Hi Ashley ,
I am planning to make this over the weekend. Have some guest coming over.
Can we double the recipe for more people ?
Thank you
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Janki, I haven’t tried doubling this recipe but I think if you do, you’ll likely need to increase the cooking time – I’m just not sure what that might be. You can try asking in my IP Facebook group to see if anyone has tried this!
Nivea says
Lovely recipe just perfect … follow to a T and you can dress as you like
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Nivea, thank you! Glad you liked the cheesecake 🙂
Nandhita Karunanithi says
Hi Ashley – Can I use full fat regular yogurt in place of Greek yogurt?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Nandhita, the reason I suggest greek yogurt is because this recipe calls for mango pulp, which makes the overall cheesecake mixture thinner. You can use full-fat yogurt – I would suggest trying to strain it a bit if it’s liquidy.
Leena says
You all must try! Easy as ABC! Comes out perfect every time! Five stars ⭐️
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Thank you, Leena! I’m so happy to hear how much you like this 🙂
Bhargavi Sivakumar says
Hi!!
A little new to using the instapot. Please can you explain what u mean by this -“Naturally release pressure for 20 minutes, then release any remaining pressure”
Thank you
Bhargavi
K says
I am also new and would love for you to confirm. If I understand correctly, 30 minutes on high pressure, without release meaning sealing, then an additional 20 minutes where it is releasing pressure meaning venting, then turn it off and let it sit until all pressure is gone? Can you confirm please?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi, I mean to let it come to pressure, then the timer will start and it will cook for 30 minutes at high pressure, then do nothing for 20 minutes, just let it sit. After that turn the valve to release any remaining pressure. I hope that helps!
Shruti says
Can we use 2% Greek yogurt?
And what about baking in oven?
Niru says
First time I tried this recipe for our extended family dinner and it turned out really good. We all enjoyed this healthy version of the cheese cake .
It was way easier and delicious.
Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!
My Heart Beets says
Niru, that’s so great to hear! Thanks for letting me know how it turned out 🙂
Shabala Deshpande says
I have a 9inch spring form pan. Do I need to scale the recipe to make the cheesecake ?
Pallavi says
Hi Ashley,
For this recipe, does it require that all ingredients should be at room temperature?!
Once I did with cold yogurt n condensed milk from fridge, it didn’t come out well 😒
My Heart Beets says
Hi Pallavi, I always use cold yogurt and condensed milk from the pantry – I haven’t tried using condensed milk in the fridge so perhaps that was the issue? I’m sorry it didn’t turn out well! If you try again, please let me know how it goes!
K says
Have you used fridge temperature mango pulp? If not condensed milk. Please let me know.
Sowmya says
I made this for my husband’s bday. Made crust with Marie biscuit and Trader Joe’s vegan butter. Didn’t do glazing but added 1/4 cup more Mango pulp, cardomom powder and saffron. Everyone loved it. Thank you!
My Heart Beets says
Sowmya, I hope your hubby had a wonderful birthday! Thanks for letting me know how the cheesecake turned out for you 🙂
Ami says
Easiest Cheesecake ever
My Heart Beets says
Thank you, Ami! 🙂
Sneha says
Hi Ashley,
Can I bake this in the oven? I just realized my springfoam pan doesn’t fit in my instapot 😁
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Sneha, some readers have told me they’ve been able to make this in an oven by baking at 350F for 30 minutes using the bain-marie method (cook the cheesecake in a water bath by placing the cheesecake pan into a larger pan with water). If you try, let me know how it goes!
Lalitha says
Hi Ashley I have baked your cheescake 2 for a competition and just to try it and it was really good! I made it in my instant pot,
But I was wondering as I need to teach kids how to do this can you bake this cheescake and if so what what temperature and how many minutes?
Thanks!
Reply
Poorna says
Can you bake this cheescake and if so what what temperature and how many minutes
Sweta says
This recipe is excellent! So easy to prep (under 20 mins) and so delicious. I toned back the sweetened condensed milk by 20% because I don’t like desserts to be too sweet. I also added .75 tbsp arrowroot powder to help with the consistency and firm it up. The outcome was amazing with the nut and date crust. Would absolutely make this again!! Thank you so much for the recipe!
My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Sweta! I’m so glad you liked this so much 🙂 Thanks for sharing your subs!
Sindhu says

I have sweetened condensed milk and sweetened mango pulp. Since both are sweetened, I’m worried it will come out too sweet and I don’t want to mess with the ratio. Have any ideas??
preets says
Hi Ashley, I am going to make this cake hopefully soon. I watched one of your videos and you mentioned this is a sweet cake so you freeze it. How can I decrease the sweetness of it? Should I cake the measurement in half of the condense milk? thanks
Nandini Padakanti says
Can we this recepie in pressure cooker, becoz my parents live in india?

Loved the mango cheese cake using fresh mango. Never baked a cake in my whole life, this one was perfect for me. Thanks

Jatinder, I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for letting me know how much you liked it 🙂
R says
Hey Ashley,
Can we make this cheesecake in an oven? If yes, temperature and timing please . Thanks
Renu says
Hi wanted to know if I used evaporated milk instead of condensed milk will that work. Reason being condensed milk is too sweet for my palate plus adding canned mango purée has sugar too. I rather add sugar to my taste will that work with the same ratio. Thanks
zoha says
Renu, did you try it? if so, did it work for you??
SB says
Can we use cream cheese instead of Greek yogurt?
FN says
Ashley, this is a great recipe! I am planning to use a Pyrex round dish but once it’s set how do you take it out without it being upside down ? Thanks
soumyata says
can i use heavy cream and sugar in place of condensed millk
Keerthi says
Hi Ashley ,
I am gonna try the most famous mango cheese cake tomorrow for my son’s 7th month completing celebrations. Both my husband and me are not too much into sweets, so if I have a regular mango purée of an Indian store, can I cut down the condensed milk or add yogurt more into the receipe, will that work ??
I jus want this to be big hit .
Also you said that this cake be freezed , please let me know the freezing instructions

Sudha, that’s so awesome! happy anniversary!! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂
Saranya Kumar says
Hi Ashley,
I tried this and cheesecake wiggles a lot after it was pressure cooked. I reduced the condensed milk by little bit as I felt it was very sweet. Could less condensed milk make the cake wiggly?
Thanks,
Saranya
Jasmeet says
Mine looks wiggly even though I pressure cooked for additional 5 mins instead of 2 🙁
I am wondering if I messed up the ratio.
My Heart Beets says
hi, put it in the fridge and it should set after it chills. Let me know how it goes!
Anu says
Can I make this dairy free by using coconut milk condensed milk and almond or soy yogurt?

Can you use fruit preserves in place of purée ?

Hi,
We tried making this recipe with our IP: mango pulp, condensed milk, 2 greek yoghurts.
The problem occurs after the IP is done cooking for 20 minutes and naturally released the pressure. We have been seeing water underneath the cooking sheet in the second container with the batter. Any suggestion
Anand says
How can I use nonfat Greek yogurt in this recipe? What adjustments I need to make for this recipe.
Also graham crackers layer I need to put in greased pan and then pot all the mixed ingredients and then put in IP. Is that correct. I am itching to try this recipe. My favorite.
Abinaya Narasimhan says
Hi Ashley, will this recipe work in a 3Q IP?
If so, what modifications needs to be done?
janki parekh says
Hi
I made this cheese cake today and followed exact measurements but my cake is little bit wiggly ?
I kept in refrigerator now . Will it set keeping in ? How long should i keep to set it ?
Thanks
My Heart Beets says
Hi Janki, it’ll fully set after it chills in the fridge. Hope that helps – let me know how it goes!
Rayesha Bhatt says
Hi Ashley, Loved loved this recipe! My husband and I ate the entire cake in one sitting. I was telling him about the flexibility With this recipe and how we can pick others flavours like lemon, cardamon etc. He wanted to try lychee flavour. Is that possible?? What would you suggest we use? Thanks Ashley!
My Heart Beets says
Rayesha, I’m happy to hear that you and your hubby liked the cheesecake so much! And oh my gosh, lychee sounds incredible – please let me know how it goes if you try! I may have to try that this summer! I think I’d puree the lychees and cook them down and then cool the sauce before adding it to the yogurt+milk.
Deena says
Love your recipes
My Heart Beets says
Happy to hear that! Thanks, Deena! 🙂
Karisma says
Hi Ashley, can you lay one mango 3 ingredient cheesecake on top of another to give it a high layered look, would it be able to bear the weight? If yes, please confirm that layering of cake should be done prior to putting puree on top?
Preeti Bhargava says
Hi Ashley,
Made this today with my 10 year old and everyone just loved it! Added a graham cracker crust To make out more cheesecake like. So easy and yummy!
My Heart Beets says
Hi Preeti, that’s so awesome to hear! Love that you both made it together 🙂
SonalShah says
Can this cheesecake be made without sugar for a diabet
My Heart Beets says
Unfortunately, I don’t think that’ll be possible with this recipe as condensed milk is an important ingredient.
BP says
Hi. I do not have an instant pot and would love to try this. I was wondering if you could provide directions to do this in slow cooker instead. Thanks.
Arya says
I got the exact pan you linked in the recipe and followed the recipe exactly but the pan immediately started leaking 🙁 i am so confused!!
Sonal says
Hi,
Just about to try this recipe in this week…
– can I use Skyr instead of greek yoghurt?
– also can I mash blueberries instead to make some sort of puree (I had bought mangoes but husband requested blueberries instead!). Do I need to do something different to prepare them to the right consistency?
Thanks!
My Heart Beets says
I’m sure skyr will be fine and I’m sure a blueberry puree will work 🙂 If it were me, I might cook the blueberries down a bit to concentrate the flavor but I haven’t tried this myself – please let me know how it goes!
CHandana says
HI AShley!
The recipe looks wonderful. I love the non graham cracker idea since I don’t buy them i don’t them.. I wanted to ask if I can add some extra sugar to the mango pulp since I plan to use real mangoes that’snot so sweet. I’m
Scared that the extra sugar will spoil the cheesecake
My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Chandana! I’m sure you can add extra sugar to the mango pulp – but I really think the cheesecake will be sweet enough thanks to the condensed milk, so if it were me I wouldn’t bother adding extra sugar. Let me know how it goes!
Bharti says
Hi Ashley,
I absolutely loved this recipe. However it came out too sweet for my family’s taste. Is there a way we could possibly reduce the sugar content in this recipe?
Vani Kaniattu says
Thanks for the recipe. I tried to follow the instructions. However the cheesecake, thoughtasted ok, it was bit hard like a paneer block. Not fluffy at all. Do you know why? I used a dated crust.
My Heart Beets says
Hi Vani, I’m not sure why it was so hard – it sounds like it may have overcooked? Did you alter the size of the pan by any chance?
Bhargavi Dubagunta says
Ashley ji ..made this today for Women’s Day and it was a bang.. Loved this a lot.. posted this in FB as well🥰… waiting for approval .. Happy Women’s Day

Hi Ashley, I’ve been wanting to try your 3 ingredient mango cheesecake for a long time. I happen to have cream cheese at home. Can I try your recipe with cream cheese instead of yogurt and expect the same yummy cheesecake? Will I get a firm cheesecake? Any idea of the outcome?? Please let me know.
Thank you in advance!!
Meherin Maredia says
Hi Ashley,
I tried making the Mango cheese Cake today. I carefully followed all the steps, but the cake was dripping a lot of water when I took it out. I think it must have dripped at least 1/2 cup Of water.
Have you ever experienced this? Where did I go wrong!
dj says
i made this according to the directions (w/o any crust) using a 6 inch cheesecake pan and it was absolutely fantastic. we were really pleasantly surprised.
the consistency is very creamy and is *almost* a cheesecake. basically as close as you can get.
i’m convinced that if we can somehow figure out how to lower the sugar amount in this recipe, we can bring peace to the middle east!
just wanted to leave a note to say thanks for sharing this. it will now be incorporated into the regular dessert rotation.
My Heart Beets says
I’m so glad you liked it 🙂 Thanks for letting me know how it turned out for you!
Priya says
Hi Ashley
Can you tell
Me how to make
This recipe WITHOUT Instant pot
My Heart Beets says
Hi Priya! Please see this: https://myheartbeets.com/2-ingredient-cheesecake-faq/ – hopefully that helps! Let me know if you try it that way!
Rochelle Lloyd says
It tastes great but I’m trying to figure out to get rid of all the excess liquid under it. I put it on a paper towel and it soaked through almost immediately. I then put it on some cardboard to see if that would soak up all the extra (there was A LOT). Any ideas?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Rochelle, glad you like the flavor! There is typically some liquid but there shouldn’t be a lot… it could be the type of yogurt. Maybe try another brand or greek yogurt next time?
Divya says
Hi Ashley I kept it for 35 min high pressure with manual setting and still highly jiggly. Any idea what to be done?
My Heart Beets says
Divya, did it set in the fridge? and just to be sure, did you use condensed milk? I’m not sure why it would be very jiggly… let me know if you figured this out!
Neha says
Hi when you say cook in high, what instant pot setting do you use? Do I use the cake setting?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Neha, depending on the instant pot model you have – use either the “manual” setting or the “pressure cook” setting and adjust the time that way. Hope that helps!
Shravani says
Hi Ashley! I tried this for my husband’s birthday and it was so easy that my 5 year old son did everything!!! It turned out super yum… everyone loved it. I am definitely gonna make this again and try other recipes.
I used whole foods brand whole milk greek yogurt and condensed milk and it was dripping from the pan. Is that normal?
My Heart Beets says
Shravani, I’m so happy to hear that!! Love that your 5 year old made this! Hope your hubby had a wonderful birthday celebration 🙂
Tjade says
if I don’t have an instant pot, will this recipe work? What can I do to make your 3 ingredient mango cheese cake work without using the instant pot?
thanks for your help!
Archana says
Hi Ashley,
I tried your mango cheesecake recipe today and it turned out simply awesome! I added a layer of graham cracker crust and it tasted yum. Thanks for this simple yet effective recipe 🙂
My Heart Beets says
Archana, I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for letting me know how the mango cheesecake turned out! 🙂
Purvi says
I’m excited to try this. Will it work if I double the qty and use a slightly larger pan. I’m making it for a large crowd
My Heart Beets says
I haven’t tried it that way but I’m sure it would work – you will likely need to adjust the cook time though.
Saumya says
Hello –
I tried this recipe but in ramekins instead. I added the graham cracker crust at the bottom. I put 4 ramekins for 25 mins and then did NPR after 10 mins. I felt that the cheesecake was a bit overdone. Should I have done a QR after 25 mins? Please advise?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Saumya, did you use the size of ramekins I suggest? It could be that your ramekins are smaller. You’ll need to adjust the time according to the size of the dish you use – the times listed are for the sizes I have listed.
Tiphanie says
I made two of these tonight, and I’m not sure why, but they both leaked from the pans. I used one 7″ fat daddio cheesecake pan (with a removable bottom), and one 7″ springform pan. Maybe my mango puree was too thin? It didn’t look thinner than the mixture in your video, though (but you have a crust in your video). They both ended up being flat, like a thick pancake (maybe 1/2 inch thick!), because I think maybe I lost too much batter from it leaking. I will try again using a crust next time, to prevent the leaks. Haven’t eaten them yet, because they’re both chilling in the fridge.
My Heart Beets says
I would expect leaks from a springform pan but not one with a removable bottom which you said you were using – so I’m a bit confused as to why it was leaking with the removable bottom. As for the video – that was made with a 6 inch pan but the photos in this blog post show what a cheesecake will look like using a 7 inch pan without a crust.
Maneesha says
Hi Ashley! I made this cheesecake and the lemon cheesecake for Diwali, and it was such a HIT! i then made this again for my work colleagues, and they said it was the best cheesecake they have EVER TASTED!! Thanks for a superb recipe!
My Heart Beets says
Maneesha, that is so awesome!! I’m so happy to hear that 🙂
maneesha says
Hi Ashley! Do you think this recipe would work with layered cheesecake? I am wondering if we could do a regular two ingredient cheesecake layer and a chocolate layer poured on top, maybe with 1/4 cup melted chocolate chips? Just curious to try new things!
My Heart Beets says
That sounds delicious! I haven’t tried a layered cheesecake yet but if you do, please let me know how it goes!
Nishi says
Thanks for sharing this receipe. I tried and taste was awesome. But texture was not perfect. It actually break while taking and quite like paneer texture. What could have went wrong ? I would like to try again.
Avni says
Question? Can this be baked in a conventional oven? I only have the 3qt instant pot so I don’t think they make a PIP for this size with removable bottom. Thanks! Can’t wait to try it 🙂
My Heart Beets says
Avni, yes I have heard from readers who baked the cheesecake in a water bath in the oven however I haven’t tried it myself yet. If you give it a try let us know how it goes!
Nishi says
Hey Ashley…I am trying to make this cheesecake today. I have Ultra 10 in 1 instant pot, and just started using it. Pardon my ignorance, but what mode do we use to make the cheesecake- Cake or Pressure cooker or Ultra?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Nishi, I use the “pressure cook” button (or the “manual” button depending on what model you have) for most of my recipes unless I say otherwise and manually set the time myself. Hope that helps!
Ryan says
Worked like a treat! Thanks
My Heart Beets says
Awesome! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂
Sucheta says
Hi ,
I have a question after making the cake in a bigger container then can we place it in small serving containers and chill to make it set.
My Heart Beets says
It will already be set when it comes out of the instant pot – you can always use ramekins as pictured in this post: https://myheartbeets.com/2-ingredient-cheesecake-instant-pot-indian-cheesecake/
Ann says
Hi. Can I make this on oven. I don’t have pressure cooker to make it. If so what is the temperature should I use?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Ann, I have heard from many readers who have made this in the oven (use a water bath) but I have yet to try it myself! Let us know how it goes if you try!
shruti says
Can I use pyrex bowls for this recipe? If yes, then how much time do I need to cook it for? Thanks
My Heart Beets says
Hi Shruti, a lot of people in my facebook group (Instant Pot for Indian Food) have used a pyrex using the same amount of time! You can search the group to see examples if you’d like 🙂
Liza says
Hi Ashley! This recipe looks great. Have you (or anyone else) tried using a higher ratio of yogurt to sweetened condensed milk? I’d like to make just-barely-sweet (and lower sugar) version but expect that might change the texture. I’m wondering if I could double the yogurt and use the same amount of condensed milk (obviously, cooking time would probably be increased).
Deepa says
Hi Liza, was wondering if you tried with changed ratio and did it come out well as I want barely sweet cheesecake too. BTW thanks for the recipe Ashley, it is amazing, can’t wait to try it!!
Ritu says
Everyone loved it. Thanks for the recipe.
My Heart Beets says
Ritu, so happy to hear that! 🙂
Monica says
Hi,
I made this with Nutella and it came out perfect – firm and yum!. But today I tried it with mango purée and it is very thin and did not firm up at all. I guess Nutella is thicker so that is why. Or something else could be wrong. I did 35 minutes high IP both times and in the same corelle bowl as well.
My Heart Beets says
Nutella cheesecake sounds like a dream! I’m surprised it didn’t firm up though – did you use greek yogurt when using mango puree?
Amrita says
This is a great idea! Did you sub 1/4 cup mango puree for 1/4 cup nutella and keep the rest of ingredients the same? Thanks so much!
Suchi says
Hi Ashley, a couple questions:
1. Can I use nonfat Greek yogurt?
2. Have you or anyone you know tried making a chocolate cheesecake or chocolate chip/turtle cheesecake? Wanted to try it and wasn’t sure it it’s as simple as just mixing chocolate chips into the yogurt-milk mixture.
3. Can I use evaporated milk or regular cows milk to make a mango cheesecake less sweet?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Suchi! I have heard that nonfat has worked for others but haven’t tried it myself. Are you in my Instant Pot for Indian Food facebook group? Some members have made variations including chocolate! As for evaporated milk – I tried and it didn’t work for me but others have had some success.
ayushi jain says
Can I make this in a regular pyrex bowl and then transfer to a plate once its at room temperature? Or do you think that would break the cheesecake?
My Heart Beets says
A lot of people in my Instant Pot for Indian Food Facebook group have made this in a pyrex with success, so I’m sure it’ll be fine 🙂 Just be sure to grease the pan well!
Liki says
Hi. Will this taste similar to flan?
My Heart Beets says
When it’s warm, but after it is chilled the texture completely changes and it becomes like cheesecake.
Sandhya says
Hi Ashley – this is amazing. My two favorite desserts all in one (Mishti doi and cheesecake) without eggs!! How do you include a pie crust? Do you make the cheesecake first and then put it over the crust or can you make the crust and cook the cheesecake/mishti doi ingredients on top of the crust inside the IP? Thanks.
My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Sandhya! You can make any pie crust with this cheesecake – I use a blend of nuts and dates but any crust will work 🙂 You just pour the cheesecake batter on top of the crust. I actually put together a video if you want to check it out: https://myheartbeets.com/2-ingredient-cheesecake-faq/
Neeta says
Hi Ashley!
Can I add mango chunks instead of mango pulp after blending first two ingredients?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Neeta! I think some fresh mango will be fine but I suggest cutting it into small pieces and also I wouldn’t use too much as the water content could affect the outcome of the cheesecake. I’d also suggest using thick greek yogurt with the fresh mango. Hope that helps!
Paul Williams says
I amended your recipe slightly and used 1 lb of mango puree! (Trader Joe’s frozen organic mango chunks). I was afraid the extra liquid might cause problems but it baked perfectly at the same time as given in your recipe. For those like me who hate Greek yogurt, there is no taste of it whatsoever in the final product. I added a graham cracker crust and made chocolate ganache for the topping. It was amazing and very decadent. Yours is a
Maneesha says
Hi Ashley! Can you make this with ramekins like in your 2 ingredient cheesecake recipe and pressurize for 25 mins?
My Heart Beets says
Maneesha, yes definitely! 🙂
Sakshi Kukreja says
Hi Ashley, Can I use this, for mango pulp https://www.wegmans.com/products/frozen-foods/international-foods/fruit-pulp/fruta-mango-pulp.html ? I am thinking to make this for an international staff get together sort of event but won’t be able to get the amazon one in time..
My Heart Beets says
Sakshi, I’m sure that’ll work 🙂 You can even blend fresh mangoes and that’ll work too! I do suggest using greek yogurt since this recipe calls for a puree. Let me know how everyone likes it!
Debra says
Would Coconut Milk and Coconut sugar work in place of the condensed milk?
My Heart Beets says
Debra, I tried this recipe with condensed coconut milk and it didn’t work. I am still trying for figure out a dairy-free version for this but no luck yet!
Marisol says
Any progress with Dairy-free? Most of my family is lactose intolerant 🙁
Thank you!
My Heart Beets says
Marisol, unfortunately not – nothing I’ve tried has worked yet!
Sasi says
Hi Ashley
Any luck with the diary free version ? Would like to make this for my son who has dairy intolerance.
Thank you
Sasi
My Heart Beets says
Hi Sasi, not yet, but I believe someone in my facebook group (Instant Pot for Indian Food) made a dairy-free version – you can try asking or searching there!
Sheena says
Hi Ashley. When I made the 2 ingredient cheesecake in the ramekins there was a lot of liquid that came out. It’s this normal?
My Heart Beets says
Yes, some liquid is normal – I believe it’s just whey from the yogurt. Once you drain it, it’ll taste great! If you think there’s too much liquid you can always strain the yogurt a bit before using it next time you make this.
Hetal says
How do you drain the whey after the cheesecake is made?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Hetal, it should come out as you remove the cake but if there’s any excess then I’d just wipe it with a paper towel. Hope that helps!
Madhavi says
Hi Ashley,
I was trying the 3 ingredients cake now,, after seeing many people attempts. I wish if video is available would be good idea( like me):). I don’t know some how i am having hard time with bowl setup in IP.
1.wondering how we can fit the pyrex bowl in IP circle pot?
2.i am using steel cooker bowls now, and i got hard time to insert them with foil.(while inserting the pan into the ip pot, as of i am looking for round shape. Please correct me if i am wrong and why i am seeing hard time.
your recipes are wonderful. i will share the outcome of my cake with you.
Thank you and have a nice day!!
My Heart Beets says
Hi Madhavi! I actually just shot a video today so be on the lookout for it on Monday or Tuesday 🙂
Neha says
Hi Ashley – would a pyrex bowl work? Do I need to add more time if using Pyrex?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Neha, any oven-safe dish will work so pyrex should be just fine 🙂 I’m not sure how big the container is but if it’s 6 or 7 inches in diameter then you can keep the cook time the same. If it’s smaller then you can try to reduce the cook time. It seems like a lot of people are having luck with the 30 minute cook time though! Let me know what you think when you try it!
Jas says
Hi Ashley. Any idea how to make this in oven. TIA.
Madhuri says
Hi Ashley !! Can we do this cheese In ordinary pressure cooker ? I don’t have an insta pot but would love to try . If there is an other way of doing could u pls tell me !
My Heart Beets says
Hi Madhuri, I am sure that you can but I haven’t tried myself. You can also make it in the oven using the bain-marie method (container with water then put the cheesecake pan in it) but I do not know the times.
Supriya says
Are you able to add a crust to this (graham cracker, etc.)? If so, is it just as easy as pouring the mixture on top of the crust before cooking? Thank you!
My Heart Beets says
Supriya, a crust should work! I plan to experiment soon so stay tuned for another cheesecake recipe 🙂 If you try it before I do, please let me know how it goes!
mittal says
Hi Thanks for the recipe. Can we use anything else instead of cheescake pan ?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Mittal, you can use any oven-safe dish – you may need to adjust the time depending on the size of the container you use. If you can, join my Indian Instant Pot Facebook group – people have shared pictures of this cake using all sorts of different containers. Hope you make the cake and love it!
Naina says
Would this taste good with Nutella instead of mango?
My Heart Beets says
Naina, I bet it would be awesome – you may need to whisk it awhile to get it to mix well though. If you try, please let us know!
Dhanashree says
Hi Ashley- Want to try this recipe but with a twist. How do you think a pistachio cheesecake will turn out? Thinking of making pistachio butter and using it to intensify the taste. Have you used nut butters before?
My Heart Beets says
Dhanashree, I think a pistachio cheesecake will be amazing! I haven’t tried adding nut butter to this but I think it’ll turn out really well! Please keep me posted!
Pratiksha Gamble says
I have Swad Kesar Sweetened Mango Pulp. Do you think this will work? Hopefully it won’t be super sweet after adding the condensed milk.
My Heart Beets says
Yes, it will definitely work! It may end up super sweet but Indian desserts still taste good when they’re really sweet! You can always freeze extra cheesecake – it freezes beautifully! I have heard from others who added milk or evaporated milk to help cut the sweetness but I haven’t tested this out myself. The other option is to make it without the mango pulp… Let me know what you think!
Parul Shah says
Hi Ashley,
I can’t wait to make this as cheesecake is one of my favorites.
Question: Any thoughts on how adding a crust would turnout? Do you think this recipe allows for a graham cracker crust?? Thanks
My Heart Beets says
Hi Parul, I can’t wait to hear what you think of it 🙂 I haven’t tried this with a crust, but I think it would work well – especially with this cheesecake pan. I may have to try this soon – if you do please let me know how it goes!
Priti says
Hi Ash
Thank you for this amazing recipie. I just made it per the instructions and it is a bit wiggly. Is that ok? I have put the container in the refrigerator for now.
Let me know.
My Heart Beets says
Hi Priti, it should set after you chill it in the fridge 🙂 How did it turn out for you?
Neha says
I have a 3 quartz and I am thinking of making it in a pyrex bowl. Since the quantity will be less how many minutes should I cook it and when should I open the lid? Thanks
D says
Pardon my ignorance,when u say one cup greek yogurt,how much quantity would that be?
My Heart Beets says
Hi! I use a standard US measuring cup to measure 1 cup of greek yogurt. Hope that helps!
Shruti Parekh says
I bought the springform pan, however, its too big. So i was able to fit it very snug tight. I tried to put it on manual for 25 mins. However, since it was not locked, it did really cook. So, I put it in the over at 35o for few minutes. do you think it will work?
DR says
Can I use Pyrex bowl instead of a spring form pan into instant pot?
Neeru says
Hi.. looks just yummy 😋 m sure tastes yummier! Wanted to know if it could be made in an oven ? Plz share d temp n the baking time.
Thanx
Swetha says
If I didn’t have a cheesecake pan with a removable bottom, could I use any pan that would fit in the IP?
Thank you and happy birthday!
My Heart Beets says
Swetha, yes definitely! Just use a pairing knife to loosen the sides before unmolding and make sure to grease it well 🙂
Seema says
Any springtime pan will work? Won’t it leak?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Seema, I’d suggest a pan with a removable bottom and not a spring-form pan. You can check out my FAQ post here: https://myheartbeets.com/2-ingredient-cheesecake-faq/
Christin says
Ashley
I made this recipe 2x already and it is cooked when I stick the fork . However when I take it out of the 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖 pot, it is very wiggly and moving around . Any reason why ? And how can I fix this ? Thank you !
Maneesha says
Oh my goodness this sounds AH-MAZING!! Do you add the yogurt, condensed milk, AND the mango all at the same time? Just wanted to clarify, since the recipe says only milk and yogurt to be mixed.
My Heart Beets says
Maneesha, yes thank you so much for asking! I just updated the post 🙂 If you make this let me know!!
Maneesha says
Definitely! Enjoy your birthday!
My Heart Beets says
Thank you!!
Carly says
Do you put the 1/4 cup of mango puree into the cheesecake or just on top? The recipe says 1/4 cup plus more for glazing, but it doesn’t say where to add it to the cheesecake in the directions. Thank you!!!
My Heart Beets says
Hi Carly, sorry for the confusion, I updated the post! You’re supposed to mix the 1/4 cup of mango puree in with the yogurt and condensed milk then once it’s done, add more puree as a glaze. Hope that clears things up! Let me know if you try this 🙂
Bonnie Praymayer says
I’m making this with peach because my hubby doesn’t like mango. I want to know when to add the purée as a glaze. Is it just to go on top when you eat it or when it’s still hot?
My Heart Beets says
Peach cheesecake sounds incredible! I would wait to add the glaze until right before serving – once the cheesecake is cool.
Gurleen Kaur Suri says
do you have a non Insta-pot recipe for cheese cake or directions.
Divya Rajamani says
I made this cake and it turned out really awesome . Thank you so much !
My Heart Beets says
Divya, that’s so great to hear! Thanks for letting me know how this turned out for you 🙂
