Mango Macadamia and Caramel Cheesecake

This is really yummy, not sickly sweet at all and uses delicious fresh ingredients.

My best friend Kimmy makes this heaps, well she used to!

I have made 2 in the last couple of weeks since Mango's are good right now and we have a good supply of mac nuts too.

...and here is our lovely Mango tree, and again this year it flowered......look closer to see the flowers below...

...now look really closely (next picture) to see the baby Mangoes!

Yippee, last year the tree flowered but no fruit.

Lilly spotted the tiny green dots from my bedroom window, the tree is covered in them, lets see what happens!

This tree is also home to Mango Possum and Possum Cutie, our 2 resident Ringtail Possums. They have possum nests high in the top made of leaves and stuff, they look a bit like birds nests.
