How To Make Microwave Cheesecake with Blueberry Compote
Crust:
- Process the Graham crackers until crumbs form. This can also be done without a processor in a resealable plastic bag and a rolling pin.
- Add the melted Butter, and pulse until Butter is evenly distributed. Avoid warming the butter by over processing.
- Transfer the Crumb and Butter mixture to a silicone baking pan (about 8″ or 20cm) or a microwave safe pan. Spread the mixture evenly and compact to create a flat crust.
- Refrigerate for minimum of 20 minutes, or while preparing the filling.
Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the Cream Cheese, Sugar, and Vanilla Extract and mix until combined and creamy. Avoid overmixing and incorporating air bubbles.
- Add the whipping cream, and mix until creamy, should take 1-2 minutes.
- Add the Yogurt, and Sweetened Condensed Milk and mix until well combined.
- In a bowl, create a Cornstarch slurry by combining the Cornstarch and 1 Tbsp. of Heavy Whipping Cream or Milk.
- Add the Cornstarch slurry to the mixing bowl, and combine. Avoid overmixing and introducing more air bubbles. You want to see soft ribbons.
- Transfer the filling to the baking pan with the refrigerated crust.
- Place the silicone baking mold on a plate, and Microwave the Cheesecake for about 8-10 minutes, checking on it every 2 minutes. Look for the surface to be rough, the mixture to bubble a little, and have a soft center
- Carefully remove the Cheesecake (it’s going to be VERY HOT), and allow it to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
- Using a butter knife, go around the edge of the pan and separate the Cheesecake from the mold. Using a plate covered with plastic wrap for cushioning, flip the Cheesecake over and allow it to gently drop onto the plastic wrap.
- Transfer the Cheesecake to a serving plate, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Remove the Cheesecake from the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving, otherwise the Cheesecake will not be creamy but firm.
- Decorate with fruit or compote and Enjoy!!
Blueberry Compote:
- In a saucepan over low heat, add the Blueberries, Sugar, and Water. Cook until Blueberries break down a little, the sauce thickens, and becomes dark purple. The sauce will thicken more as it cools, so avoid overcooking.
- Just before removing from the heat, add the Orange Zest and Orange Juice and mix
- Allow the Compote to cool before serving.
Have It Your Way
- Crust Variations: Try using digestive biscuits, Oreo cookies, or ginger snaps instead of graham crackers.
- Compote Swaps: Substitute blueberries with raspberries, cherries, or peaches.
- Flavor Boost: Add a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crust for extra warmth.
- Presentation: Serve in mason jars for a charming individual dessert.
