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 5✕
Certain foods cook best in the microwave at lower power levels.

Different microwaves have different settings. See your microwave manual (or look it up online) to learn how to change your microwave’s power level.
For many microwaves: enter the cook time, press the “Power” (or “Power Level”) button, and select a number between 1-10. Other microwaves may require selecting the Power Level first, and then entering the cook time.
Microwaves list power levels in different ways. Here’s a guide to help you adjust:
PL 10 = 100% = High (default)
PL 9 = 90% = High
PL 8 = 80% = Med-High
PL 7 = 70% = Med-High
PL 6 = 60% = Medium
PL 5 = 50% = Medium
PL 4 = 40% = Med-Low
PL 3 = 30% = Med-Low
PL 2 = 20% = Low
PL 1 = 10% = Low
You will know if the power level has been successfully changed if you hear periodic changes in the microwave’s tone after it begins cooking.
- Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Carefully remove each cheesecake from the mold and serve.
Suggestions
- 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.
