I found it a little on the bland side, even with the extra mango. The oreo crust was a little hard, also. Sorry, I was just expecting a more mango taste.

Love the unusual crust; although I couldn't really taste the mango very much in the cheesecake. Will have to try the mango-pineapple topping too. :)

if u find it bland, try adding 1/2 cup of mango concentrate on it. and alos mango gelly topping! simmer 1cup mango nectar, 1tsp lemon juice and 1tbsp cornstarch. set for about 10mins then pour into ur cooled cheesecake. if u want more flavor into it, instead of mashed mango, consider mango puree with little cubes of mango the size of corn kernels onto ur batter. a little time consuming but worth it, imo.

Nice cheesecake. I altered the baking, since I always bake cheesecakes in water baths at 300*F. However, this was a tasty and well appreciated cake. I followed suggestions to increase the mango and use the mango-pineapple jam topping. Thanks for sharing!

My husband made this for me as my birthday "cake" and it turned out just spectacular. He left out the ground almonds but just as well because I LOVED the coconut in the crust. Thanks for a great recipe!
