Three-ingredient microwave cheesecake

Creating a three-ingredient microwave cheesecake is both convenient and delicious. This dessert requires minimal preparation and no cream cheese, making it simple to whip up ahead of time. The key ingredients include lemon cream biscuits, plain double cream yoghurt, and condensed milk, which combine to form a creamy filling with a delicate tang.

To begin, gather ½ to 1 pack of Lemon Creams based on the size of your dish and one can of condensed milk. Begin by crushing the Lemon Creams into fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Grease a medium-sized square dish that is safe for the microwave. Add the crushed biscuit crumbs to the dish and microwave for 30 to 45 seconds to ensure they stick together.

Once the biscuits are prepared, remove them from the microwave and mix well. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of the dish, forming an even crust. In a bowl, combine the yoghurt and condensed milk until smooth. Microwave this mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove and stir briskly. Repeat the microwaving process for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour the warm filling over the biscuit crust and refrigerate the dish for a minimum of four hours, preferably overnight. This chilling period is essential for the cheesecake to set properly. After it has set, cut the cheesecake into squares and serve with fresh berries and mint leaves for a refreshing dessert. The longer the cheesecake chills in the fridge, the firmer it will be, making it easier to slice and serve by Sunday lunchtime.
