Labneh cheesecake with mango

Labneh Cheesecake is one of my favorite cheesecakes. It’s deliciously fresh, super creamy and also really fruity due to the delicious mango layer. The crumbled cookie base also brings out the crumb monster in me. The recipe is very simple – I’ll show you how it’s done.

Cheesecake with labneh

This cheesecake is a little different – a little more special. Here, no classic cream cheese is used, but the wonderfully creamy Lebanese cream cheese from yogurt called Labneh.

As just indicated, labneh is made from yogurt and is really quite easy to make yourself at home. All you need is yogurt and a straining cloth. You just put the yogurt in the cloth and then let the whey drain off over a few hours. The result is a firmer, creamier cream cheese.

Now you’re wondering why you couldn’t use any other cream cheese? You could, but then you’d be missing that special freshness kick that Labneh brings to the cheesecake.

Once you have made Labneh, everything is quick and easy. You just have to stir all the ingredients for the cheesecake filling together and that part is done. It is only important that you do not beat the mass when mixing, but really only stir. This will prevent air from getting into the mixture. The air would ensure that the cheesecake with labneh puffs up and later sinks in.

The crispy base is simply made from crumbled butter cookies and melted butter. The mass you can then simply distribute in a springform pan and press on. Then the base goes first briefly in the oven, so that it is also nice and crispy.

Once this is done, you can add the cheesecake filling and put the cake back in the oven. In the meantime, you take care of the fruity mango layer.

The fruity mango mirror

For the Labneh Cheesecake I thought of a fruity topping with mango. You can use frozen mango and puree it once with a hand blender. If you have really good, fresh mangoes, you can of course also take these.

Then simply mix the pureed mango with some starch and water, boil briefly in a saucepan, and the mango topping for your Labneh Cheesecake is ready.

But before the mango mirror on the Labneh Cheesecake may, the cake must first cool. But anticipation is, after all, the best joy.

Then, when everything is ready, I definitely recommend you add some coconut flakes and maybe some coconut chips on top.

The result is an incredibly delicious cheesecake with labneh, which is not only super creamy, but also fruity and deliciously aromatic.

I wish you lots of fun baking and a good appetite!
