5-Minute Microwave Cheesecake

Crust:

1 3/4 cups (7 1/2 oz/210g) graham cracker crumbs
8 tablespoons (4oz/120g) butter, melted
Filling:
1 cup (8oz/240g) cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup (6oz/180g) sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup (5floz/150ml) cream
2 eggs* , room temperature
Microwave Safe Mold

Instructions

1.In a small bowl melt the butter in the microwave. Pour butter over graham cracker crumbs and mix until all the crumbs are coated and you’ve reached a sand like texture.

2.To form the crust press the graham cracker and butter mixture into the bottom of a microwave safe cake mold. Refrigerate while making the filling.

3.To make the filling whip the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Once light and fluffy add in the vanilla and the cream then mix to combine.

4.Lastly, add the eggs one at a time allowing to fulling incorporate between each addition.

5.Pour cheesecake filling over refrigerated crust. Tap on the counter to insure the top is even.

6.Put in the microwave for and cook in 2 minute intervals. After 4 minutes my cheesecake had some bubbles on the stop and still a bit of a jiggle in the middle. (This cooking time is based on my microwave which is 1200WATTS so check your microwave wattage as your cook time may vary)

7.Remove from the microwave and allow to cool fully before removing from the microwave safe tin. slice and enjoy!
