Microwave Cheesecake Recipe
Description
The Microwave Cheesecake Recipe starts with a graham cracker crust made by mixing crushed crumbs with melted butter, which is pressed into a microwave-safe mold and chilled before use. The filling is prepared by whipping cream cheese and sugar until fluffy, then incorporating vanilla extract, cream, and eggs until smooth. Cooking in the microwave at two-minute intervals allows careful control over doneness, achieved when the top shows bubbles and the center still jiggles slightly.
The final cheesecake has a tender, custard-like texture with a slightly firm crust. This quick method suits cooks without access to an oven or those who need a speedy dessert option. The balance of cream cheese and sweetness creates a mild but satisfying flavor profile, while the vanilla adds aromatic depth.
For those who want to avoid eggs, cornflour or cornstarch can be used as a thickening substitute by blending with cream or milk before mixing into the batter. Additionally, the cheesecake can be baked in a traditional oven at 325°F for 40 to 45 minutes if preferred.
Ingredients
- CRUST:
- 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup cream cheese room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar 6oz/180g
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup cream
- 2 egg room temperature
- Microwave Safe Mold
Notes
- To substitute eggs, use about 1/4 cup cornstarch blended with a little milk or cream to thicken the filling.
- The egg helps set the cheesecake, so thickening agents like cornstarch will provide similar structure.
- If desired, bake the cheesecake in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 minutes instead of microwaving.
