Step-by-Step Instruction

1. Begin by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
2. Crush the biscuits thoroughly in a food processor until they form fine crumbs.
3. Combine the melted butter with the biscuit crumbs until mixed uniformly.
4. Line a 20cm diameter round cake pan with parchment paper.
5. Press the biscuit mixture firmly onto the base of the pan to form an even crust.
6. Place the pan in the refrigerator to allow the crust to set while preparing the filling.
7. Soak the 8 gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes to soften them.
8. Heat the soaked gelatin gently in a saucepan until fully dissolved and smooth.
9. In a large mixing bowl, blend fresh cheese, Greek yogurt, and condensed milk until smooth.
10. Add the blended mango pulp to the mixture, stirring to combine well.
11. Whip the cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cheese mixture.
12. Incorporate the melted gelatin into the filling, mixing until everything is well integrated.
13. Pour the creamy mango mixture over the biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula.
14. Return the cake to the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the jelly layer.
15. Soak the remaining 3 gelatin sheets in cold water until softened.
16. Gently heat the soaked gelatin with orange juice and powdered sugar until dissolved.
17. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it over the set cheesecake layer.
18. Refrigerate the assembled cake for an additional 3 hours to ensure the jelly sets completely.
19. Once set, carefully release the cake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
20. Garnish as desired and serve chilled.
