Mango Coconut Cheesecake Parfaits
Smooth.Cool. Refreshing. And a tiny glimpse of Summer. Yes, these Parfaits showed me the beach, the sand, the crystal blue clear waters, and the sound of seagulls squawking over head for a chip!
These were our dessert. Chilled out and so creamy, a perfect end to a meal on a perfect summery, sunny day!
Long story short? Of course! That’s always the best way. Two really, really ripe mangoes were calling out to me. I’d had them in the fridge and was thinking of smoothies, but smoothies szshmoothies, when you can have a parfait. And what better than cheesecake? Because I was going down the yellow brick road of mango cheesecake, and smoothies, and I kinda just threw my arms in the air and made both. Into one. And now, you can too!
Simple is best. Quick? Yes please. Show me the processor. Stat.
After the hectic carb coma I went into after that Tortellini with Chunky Beef Sauce, I needed something light, refreshing, with a healthy feeling. And mangoes make it all better.
And after about, oh, I don’t know… 2 minutes maybe? These were in the serving dishes, cheesecake flavours and all, ready to be loved, licked and appreciated for all of their beautiful beauty.
The creaminess! Um, so I’ll be running out to be mangoes to make these again. Maybe tomorrow. Oh who am I kidding. Maybe, like now!

Hey! Your recipes are the best! I was not very good at cooking until i found your recipes. The cakes were always weird tasting and my main meals just boring. Now i look here for inspiration every night when i start cooking and i am getting better and better. Start feeling like a little master chef.Thank you!
This looks so good! I haven’t got a food processor so I am going to try it in a blender. One question – does the cream cheese need to be softened to avoid lumps?
Hi Alice. Yes! Ideally room temperature cream cheese is best! I hope you like them 🙂
