Ingredients

1 pack plain cookies
100 g butter
40 g white chocolate drops or chips ¼ cup
250 g cream cheese
113 g caster sugar ½ cup
2 eggs
200 g greek yoghurt
80 g white chocolate drops or chips ½ cup

Instructions

I have put together a quick video for this White Chocolate Cheesecake recipe, be sure to check it out before starting.
Crush or blitz plain biscuits until they are a fine crumb, they should look a little like sand.
Melt butter, stir the first measure of white chocolate drops into the melted butter, they will melt quite easily in the warm butter.
Stir the melted butter and white chocolate through the biscuit crumbs
Press the crumb mix into the bottom of a microwave proof dish. I use a flexible silicon cake tin for this, but any microwaveable dish is fine.
Refrigerate while you prepare the white chocolate cheesecake filling
Beat the cream cheese until soft (I used an electric beater in the video, but you can achieve the same effect with a wooden spoon and some elbow grease.
Add the caster sugar and beat until well combined
Add the caster sugar and beat until well combined
Add the eggs, one at a time beating between each addition.
Stir through the yoghurt
Melt the second quantity of white chocolate, stir this through the filling (photo 10-11.)
Pour the onto the crumb base you prepared earlier. Give the dish a little jiggle to remove any air bubbles
Microwave in 2 minute bursts until cooked, the centre should still have a little jiggle, As you are using a microwave the cheesecake will continue to cook for a little while after you have removed it from the microwave, so the last few jiggles will disappear. My cheesecake in my microwave takes 4 minutes, i.e. 2 x 2 minute bursts.
Refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Before serving top with fresh seasonal berries.

Once baked this cheesecake will store up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

I typically bake this cheesecake in the microwave but you can use an oven. It will take around 40 minutes to bake at 180 degrees celsius.
