Three-ingredient microwave cheesecake for an easy make-ahead Sunday dessert
This three-ingredient microwave cheesecake is an easy make-ahead dessert using lemon creams, yoghurt and condensed milk, topped with fresh berries and mint leaves at home.
Preparation for a Sunday lunch can become overwhelming, especially when dessert must be ready after the main course is finished. This 3-ingredient microwave cheesecake recipe offers a convenient solution. It requires minimal effort, doesn't involve cream cheese, and can be made in advance, eliminating one less thing to worry about on Sunday.
The dessert's base consists of lemon cream biscuits, plain double cream yoghurt, and condensed milk, resulting in a creamy cheesecake-like filling with a mildly tangy taste. The microwave performs the cooking, while refrigeration is responsible for setting the cheesecake. The recipe is ideal for a Sunday lunch, as the microwave cooking takes only a few minutes, while the chilling process is the most time-consuming part.
Making it on Saturday evening allows the cheesecake to rest overnight, ensuring it's firm enough to serve by Sunday lunchtime. The longer chilling period, ideally overnight, guarantees a well-textured cheesecake. Serving a cheesecake that hasn't been given sufficient fridge time might result in a soft texture, making it difficult to cut neatly into squares.
Making this dessert ahead of time isn't just convenient; it allows the dessert ample time to firm up before serving, ensuring a delightful Sunday lunch experience.
