In a medium mixing bowl, add cream cheese and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula. You can also use your stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
Add lemon juice, pure vanilla extract, and salt, and continue beating on medium speed until well combined.
Note: I forgot to add the vanilla extract along with the lemon juice and salt in the video. Hence, I've added it later. But add everything at the same time to avoid more steps.
Combine 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder in a saucepan. Mix well. Bring the contents in the saucepan to a boil, stirring occasionally. Make sure that the agar-agar has dissolved completely. The mixture solution should thicken and turn gelatinous.
Add fresh mango pulp to the hot agar-agar solution and mix well. Set aside for 1 to 2 minutes, until lukewarm before mixing with the cream cheese mixture.
Add the agar-agar-mango mixture to the cream cheese mixture and beat on medium-high speed until everything is well incorporated.
Lastly, add the light cream and beat until well combined and the filling is smooth. Taste the batter and adjust with powdered sugar for sweetness, if required.
Work quickly in the next step, as the filling begins to set very quickly at this stage.
Pour the mango cheesecake filling evenly on the prepared biscuit base. Level the surface using a regular spatula or an offset spatula. Tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to get rid of any air bubbles.
Refrigerate for an hour or until it has set.
