Why don't you experiment a bit.

Mix up a cheesecake recipe with no sugar. Use maybe 2 packages of
cream cheese, 3 eggs, and some vanilla. Perhaps a bit of sour cream.

Split the mixture into 4 batches, and add different fruits to each.
I'm thinking pureed strawberries, raspberries, peaches, and mangos. (I
always have frozen chopped up fruit on hand because I put it in
smoothies.) You can mix the fruit in thoroughly or just swirl it
through the cream cheese.

Line muffin tins with paper liners, then pour your cheesecake mixes
into the cups.

I'm thinking that the mango would be *really* good.
