This no-bake mango swirl cheesecake is the perfect summer dessert. It's light, refreshing, and easy to make. The gluten-free graham cracker crust is topped with a creamy dairy-free cheesecake filling and a vibrant mango puree swirl. The cheesecake is then chilled until firm and set.
The inspiration for this recipe came to me on a hot summer day. I was craving something sweet and refreshing, but I didn't want to turn on the oven. I decided to make a no-bake cheesecake, and I started experimenting with different flavors. I finally settled on a mango swirl cheesecake, and it was a huge hit with my family and friends.

Why It Works
The gluten-free graham cracker crust is a great alternative to the traditional graham cracker crust. It's just as delicious, but it's also gluten-free.
The dairy-free cream cheese filling is smooth and creamy. It's made with honey instead of sugar, so it's also refined sugar-free.
The mango puree swirl adds a vibrant color and flavor to the cheesecake. It's the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day.
