Description
At its heart, Mango Sticky Rice Cheesecake is a multi-layered architectural wonder. It starts with a buttery biscuit base, followed by a dense and chewy layer of coconut-infused glutinous rice. Above that sits a light, airy, and slightly tangy cheesecake mousse. Finally, the entire creation is crowned with a thick glaze of pureed mango and fresh fruit slices.
