Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.

  3. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for one hour.

  4. In a small saucepan, combine the mango puree, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until dissolved. Mix a small amount of cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Whisk this into the warm puree, cooking until thickened. Let cool to create a glaze.
