Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (40g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 oz (170g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ cup (60g) + 2 tablespoons sour cream
- ¼ cup (60ml) + 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
- Mix the crust: In a separate bowl, combine the butter and cracker crumbs, and mix well. Evenly distribute the crust mixture (about 3 tablespoons) on the bottom of each portion of the 1/2 Cup Anytime Freezer Trays, pressing to compact.
- Make the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining batter ingredients and mix well.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the cavities of the trays, smoothing out the top if needed. Cook uncovered at Power Level 5tooltip for 5 minutes per tray, or until the batter puffs up slightly on the side and it gently jiggles when shaken.
- Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Carefully remove each cheesecake from the mold and serve.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Use fresh whipped cream to decorate the tops of the cheesecakes.
- Add lemon, orange, or lime zest to the batter for a citrus twist.
- Top with fresh fruit or jam.
- Drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra sweet treat.
Recipe notes
- Cooked cheesecakes can be saved in the freezer, covered, for up to 3 months.
- The crust can be made with any cookie of your choice.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
