Let Mango Season Begin With Shiela’s Mini Mango Kulfi Cheesecake
Good news! Mangoes are back in the market and we just couldn’t resist this fabulous Mini Mango Kulfi Cheesecake from Shiela’s kitchen!
So get going this Whip-it-up-Wednesday with this soul-satisfying recipe from The Girl That Made It All!
“Lately, I have been on a cheesecake high. Ever since I found out how easy it is to make in the Instant Pot (it can be purchased from here). I made mini cheesecakes as gifts for my co-workers for Christmas. Since I am making it in the Instant Pot, I only have mini springform pans. They can be purchased here.”
“I started thinking about how to add my Indian twist to the cheesecake and came up with Mango Kulfi Cake. What is not to like? Mango, cardamom and cream cheese = yum!”
I started to play around with the recipe and ended up making them for Super Bowl LI. My husband tasted it and said I was a genius. My mom said I was a good cook like her. Haha, Mom. You all be the judge.”
“Here is how I made it:”
