To Assemble
- To make the crust, preheat the oven to 350° F (175°C). Combine the flour, graham crumbs, and coconut with the sugar and lime zest. Stir in the melted butter and blend until even and crumbly.
- Press into the bottom and an inch up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned around the edges, then allow to cool.
- Wrap the bottom of the pan with foil and place in a baking dish that has at least a 2-inch (5 cm) lip. Reduce the oven temperature to 300° F (150°C).
- To prepare the fruit filling, melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the mangoes, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, ginger, and nutmeg.
- Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, until the fruit is tender and the juices have evaporated. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then spread into the bottom of the baked crust.
- To make the cheesecake filling, beat the cream cheese in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with electric beaters, until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl often.
- Add the sugar, flour, and salt and beat again, scraping down the sides of the bowl often.
- Mix in the mango purée, sour cream, lime juice, and vanilla and blend well. At this point there should be no lumps; if there are, beat again until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping the bowl thoroughly. Pour the cheesecake into the prepared pan.
- To make the mango swirl, whisk together the mango purée, sugar, and egg yolk. Drizzle or spoon over the cheesecake, and with a skewer or paring knife swirl the puree through.
- Take the cheesecake in the baking dish to the oven door. Pour boiling water around the pan to come up halfway. Bake for 1½ to 2 hours.
- Halfway through cooking, crack the oven door for 10 minutes, then complete cooking.
- Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature. Chill overnight in the springform pan.
- To serve, run a paring knife around the edge of the cheesecake and remove the ring. (This final step was truncated in the source and completed from the recipe’s published original; see the in-page Source reference.)
