The Recipe: 3-Ingredient Microwave Cheesecake

Ingredients

  • 200g coconut or ginger biscuits, crushed (e.g., Tennis biscuits, Digestives, or Graham crackers)
  • 1 litre plain double cream yoghurt (or Greek yoghurt for extra thickness)
  • 1 tin (397g) sweetened condensed milk
  • Optional toppings: Grated chocolate, cocoa powder, or fresh fruit

Instructions

1. Prepare the Biscuit Base

  • Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs (use a food processor or rolling pin).
  • Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of a deep microwave-safe dish (a pie dish or square baking dish works well).

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yoghurt and condensed milk until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture over the biscuit base, spreading it evenly.

3. Microwave & Set

  • Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes (microwave strengths vary, so check at 5 minutes—it should be slightly wobbly but set).
  • Let it cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best texture).

4. Garnish & Serve

  • Dust with cocoa powder or sprinkle with grated chocolate.
  • Slice and enjoy chilled!

Flavor Variations & Tips

✅ Coconut Lovers – Use coconut biscuits and top with toasted coconut flakes.
🔥 Spiced Ginger Twist – Pair ginger biscuits with a drizzle of caramel or lemon zest.
🍫 Chocolate Upgrade – Mix 1 tbsp cocoa powder into the filling for a chocolate cheesecake.
🍓 Fruity Finish – Top with sliced strawberries or mango for freshness.
⏳ No Microwave? Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 20-25 minutes instead.
