NO BAKE EGGLESS JACKFRUIT CHEESE CAKE.

People always overdo the mangoes and bananas when it comes to cheesecakes and it is after all the season for mangoes . But for a change I  decided to prepare the almost forgotten fruit in the form of a no-bake cheesecake; a decision that may be crazy but good indeed. Preparing with homemade cream cheese is a super-duper hit and they turned out fantabulously well.

Grind the peanuts down to flour in a food processor or in a blender.
Add the raisins, coconut, and coconut  milk powder / milk powder.Grind until the raisins are broken down.
